You might find this useful Sibs mate.

You will know if its 10mm wire cos its like trying to bend steel!!

If its not 10 mm wire and the shower is above 7.5kw it should have the wire upgraded. And lets face it, there arent many showers out there less than 7.5kw these days.

If in doubt calll someone out. Cos the buck and liability will stop with you.

Typical cable sizes and protection device for different sized showers are:
Maximum Shower Rating (kW)Maximum load (A) Recommended Minimum Cable Size
(Twin core and earth mm²) Maximum size of Protective Device (A) 6.0 26 6 32 6.5 29 6 32 7.0 31 6 32 7.5 33 10 40 8.0 35 10 40 8.5 37 10 40 9.0 39 10 40 9.5 42 10 4510.0 44 10 4510.5 46 16 5011.0 48 16 50

My brother and I rewired my house 15 years ago, all to regs and it was accepted. I am now limited to adding a spur, changing a socket and few other bits and bobs. I was only aware that you couldn't diy a wood burner and a flue when I looked into getting one - didn't know you had to be Corgi too!

I too would urge a note of caution on installing one of the new high power showers to old wiring. I think you could argue ( how well I don't know) that it was okay to fit a shower in your own home to old wiring, but I don't see the coroner buying it if a job for a paying customer goes wrong.

In my previous job I witnessed the outcome of some diy efforts often with tragic results

I can see the need to clamp down on some areas of diy if it's a safety matter, but as I said earlier. the minute they bring in H & S working at height regs for private dwellings will be a move to far.
Mind you I bet old Rod Hull wished it had been illegal to climb a ladder above 10' - poor old Emu.

I do work as a roofer to fill in when the tiling is slow,I don't think anyone without any training should be allowed(even on their own roof)to go onto their roof to attempt to fix a problem,if you don't know the correct places to stand your in for a world of pain.
Agree with you though frogeye the goverment is probably going overboard in some respects.

To work/install wood burning stoves and flues the regulatry body is HETAS.

New Bathroom installations are notifiable under building regs not that many do notify!

Also with regard to the shower , I would not touch it with a barge pole . I have part p limited scope so technically am qualified to do it but officially I am not as I haven't spent the £500 on meters to test out and extra subs to corgi or niceic to get registered. The point is it might be easy to wire up to whats there but even if its 10mm you probably don't know how or have the equiipment to test the wiring which has to be done - eg: impedance, reverse polarity etc etc. Leave it well alone mate.
