Naw, a TSR.....toaster registered engineer.

All showers must be fitted with 10mm twin and earth minimum, terminating at the consumer box with a separate RCD for safety.

Sorry, not all at all. Power showers only need a 3A fuse and 30mA RCD. 2.5mm cable will be fine.

Ok Alex, but it's a electric instantaneous jobbie we're discussing here?

They will look at your install. It's either pass or fail.

To take the load without overheating the cable. All showers of 8.5kw and above must be 10mm twin and earth minimum. If the cable run is a long one it should be increased to 12mm.

You have got that one wrong.
It needs to be suitably sized to suit the load and how it is run.
A bit like saying a 24kw boiler needs an 22mm gas pipe. It doesn't necessarily but it does need a properly sized one.

Yes that is what I said, it should be sized to suit the load and run, and increased if the run is a long one. But 10mm is now the minimum and any M.I I've read recently states this.

As long as you work out a discount with Warburtons, it can be quite cost effective.
