Same-Day Installation Available

For straightforward installations where your existing consumer unit has adequate capacity and RCD protection, we can often complete the work on the same day. Most installations in modern Swindon developments take 3-4 hours from start to finish.

Fully Compliant Certification

All installations certified under Building Regulations Building Regulations with official completion certificates. We handle LABC notification and provide all documentation needed for warranty claims and future property sales.

Before Your EV Charger Installation

Check your parking situation

Ensure you have a dedicated parking space within 25 metres of your consumer unit. Many terraced properties around Old Town may need longer cable runs, which affects installation complexity. Check you won't be running cables across shared access or neighbour boundaries.

Locate your electricity meter and consumer unit

We'll need access to both during installation. In newer developments like Wichelstowe, these are usually in purpose-built meter cupboards. Older properties may have meters in awkward locations that require additional cable routing through cavity walls or external conduit.

Consider your electrical supply capacity

Most homes need at least 80-100 amps total capacity for a 7kW home charger. Properties built before 1980 often have 60-amp supplies that may need upgrading through your electricity supplier before installation can proceed.

Clear the installation route

Remove any obstacles between your consumer unit and proposed charger location. We may need to drill through external walls, run cables through loft spaces, or install external trunking depending on your property layout.

What Happens During Installation

1

Electrical supply assessment

We test your existing installation to confirm it can safely support the additional load. This includes checking earthing arrangements, RCD protection, and cable capacity. Older properties in areas like Rodbourne may need consumer unit upgrades first.

2

Protective device installation

A dedicated 32-amp Type B MCB and 30mA RCD are installed in your consumer unit specifically for the EV charger circuit. If space isn't available, we may need to fit a larger consumer unit or separate garage/outbuilding unit.

3

Cable installation and routing

6mm twin and earth cable is run from the consumer unit to the charger location, either through internal routes via loft spaces and stud walls, or externally using galvanised steel conduit or armoured cable buried underground.

4

Charger mounting and commissioning

The charging unit is mounted on a suitable wall surface at least 1.2m from ground level. We complete full electrical testing, configure any smart features, and demonstrate operation before providing certification documentation.

When Your Installation Gets Complex

Insufficient electrical supply capacity

Properties with 60-amp or smaller main fuses may need supply upgrades through SSE or your local DNO. This typically adds 6-8 weeks to the project timeline and requires separate application processes we can coordinate on your behalf.

Old-style consumer units or wiring

Houses built before 1980, common in areas like Gorse Hill and Pinehurst, often have outdated consumer units without RCD protection. These need upgrading to modern 18th Edition standards before EV charger installation can proceed safely.

Listed buildings or conservation areas

Properties in Swindon's conservation areas may require planning permission for external cable routes or wall-mounted chargers. We'll advise on discrete installation methods that meet both electrical regulations and conservation requirements.

Shared access or boundary issues

Terraced properties or shared driveways may need wayleave agreements with neighbours for cable routes. Some installations require party wall agreements, particularly when drilling through shared walls in converted properties.
