Bexley's big blocks and rear garages are well suited to home charging once the switchboard has capacity.
EV Charger Installation Bexley: what we typically find
Bexley's larger blocks often have garages at the back, meaning longer cable runs. Older boards may need upgrading.
We plan the route and check capacity.
How the job works in Bexley
Most garage installations are completed within a working day.
We'll show you how to schedule charging.
A typical installation starts with checking your switchboard, main cable and supply. Then we agree on where the charger will go, run a dedicated cable from the board with its own protection, mount the charger and commission it with your car. In Bexley, where many garages sit at the back of long blocks, the cable often runs through the roof space and along the side of the house, or underground where there's no other route. We'll explain the route and any trenching before we start.
If your board still has ceramic fuses, it will need upgrading before a charger can be connected safely. We'll quote both together so you know the full scope.
Many chargers can be scheduled to start when your electricity tariff is cheapest, and some can use surplus solar. We'll set up whichever features your charger supports.

About Bexley
Many Bexley homes still have original fuse boards and wiring that's been extended piece by piece. Switchboard upgrades, partial and full rewires, and extra power points are our core Bexley work. We take care with original ceilings, cornices and joinery when running new cables.
