Electric shower in garden room, cold water tank level with shower head

Hi,

I have a 25sqm, concrete block garden room that I'd like to run electric shower in.
I can run water from the main house or tap outside, water pressure is bad as it is and I have power shower in the main house.

The block garden room has a flat roof and there's space under the roof that can accommodate a cold water tank, such as a W30/20 one.

As the bottom of the water tank will be roughly the same height as the electric shower head what would I need and can it work?

Need to have a rough understanding before talking to a plumber s need to estimate cost of materials (negative pump, non standard cold water tank or otherwise).

TIA

The fitting instructions will state minimum head of water of about 8cm but in practice you can usually get away with even less than this.

If the worse comes to the worse you might have to drop the shower head off below the shower to start the flow of water but it should function fine once flow starts
