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.

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.
Who signs off electric showers work in Northam & Appledore?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify Torridge District Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.
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.
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.
Who do I call in a power cut in Northam & Appledore?
National Grid (South West) runs the network here. If the whole street is dark, call 105, it's free and they'll give you a time. If it's only your house, check your trip switches first, then call an electrician.
