Most installations are completed within one working day.
We install chargers in driveways, garages, side walls, or on posts (where needed). We ensure it’s installed safely, efficiently, and in line with regulations.
To help us prepare a detailed estimate, please upload the following clear photos:
- Consumer Unit (Fuse Board): Clearly showing breakers, labels, and RCD/MCB markings.
- Main Cut-Out Fuse: Showing any labels (e.g. 60A) on or around the fuse.
- Electric Meter: Photo of your electricity meter and surrounding setup.
- Overall Setup Location: Wide shot of your electrical setup (fuse board, meter, cut-out) or individual photos if components are spread out.
- Earthing Arrangement (if visible): This helps identify if your system is TT, TNS or TN-C-S.
- Charger Location: Photo of where you’d like the charger installed (e.g. garage wall, driveway wall).
These photos allow us to pre-assess feasibility, space, and compliance before a final survey.
