Installations

Home and workplace EV charge points, installed and certified.

A smart, compliant EV charger fitted properly — correctly rated for your supply, notified where required, and certified. We'll also tell you honestly whether a government grant applies to your situation.

What's Involved

More than just fitting a box on the wall.

Every EV charger installed in Great Britain must now be a "smart" charger under the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations, meaning it can schedule charging and apply a randomised start delay — that's not optional, it's the law. We also check your supply can take the extra load, fit appropriate protection, and notify the installation as required under Building Regulations.

Planning permission generally isn't needed for most home, workplace and commercial charger installs. Grant support has narrowed since 2022 — standard homeowners with a driveway are no longer eligible, but renters, flat owners, landlords and households relying on on-street parking may still qualify for up to £500 per socket. We'll tell you straight whether you're likely to qualify rather than assume.

Common Questions

FAQs

Can I get a grant towards an EV charger?
It depends on your circumstances. Since 2022, standard homeowners with a driveway are no longer eligible for the main OZEV home charger grant. Renters, flat owners, landlords, and households relying on on-street parking with a cross-pavement solution may still be able to claim up to £500 per socket. We'll check with you before you commit to anything.
Do I need planning permission?
Generally no — planning permission is no longer required for most home, workplace and commercial EV charger installations. There can be exceptions for listed buildings or conservation areas, which we'll flag if relevant.
What is a 'smart charger' and why does it matter?
Under the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations, all new chargers sold and installed in Great Britain must support scheduled charging and a randomised start delay to help manage grid demand. It's a legal requirement, not an optional extra.
Can my existing consumer unit handle a charger?
Usually yes with the right protection added, but older or heavily loaded supplies sometimes need an upgrade first — something we'll check during the survey rather than find out on installation day.
