Usually 4–6 hrs on site. Your power is off for most of that time, so plan around fridges and alarms.

How much to replace an electric shower in Dartmouth?
Like-for-like is typically £275–£460 fitted in Dartmouth, including the shower. Going to a more powerful unit (9.5 kW or 10.5 kW) often needs a thicker cable from the fuse box, which brings it towards £715.
Do you cover the villages round Dartmouth, like Kingswear and Stoke Fleming?
We do. The electric showers prices on this page already include jobs in Kingswear, Stoke Fleming, Dittisham, Blackawton, Strete. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Dartmouth work, so the next slot (in 6 days) normally applies to you too.
How do I check an electrician is properly registered?
Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.
Who signs off electric showers work in Dartmouth?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify South Hams District Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.
Can someone fix a fault between guests at my Dartmouth let?
Usually, if you ring early. Changeover days are busy in Dartmouth, so give the electrician a key-safe code and a list of what's wrong. Expect around £460 for a typical visit. Photos of the fuse box sent ahead save time.
Can I fit a bigger shower on the same cable?
Only if the cable and breaker are rated for it. Many older showers in Devon run on 6 mm cable, fine for 8.5 kW, not always for 10.5 kW. An electrician can measure it in a few minutes.
Why does my electric shower keep cutting out?
Often it's the thermal cut-out because the shower's furred up with limescale, or the cable is too thin for the unit. A burning smell or browned isolator switch means stop using it and get it checked.

Does living by the sea in Dartmouth affect electrical work?
It can. Salt air corrodes outdoor sockets, lights and meter boxes faster, so ask for IP65 or better outside. Older properties and holiday lets here also tend to have damp in outbuildings, which an electrician will check during the job.
