EV Charger Installation in Slough
I install home EV chargers across Slough and Windsor. A proper survey, a tidy 7kW wallbox, and work certified to current regulations, so you can charge on your own driveway with confidence.
What I Install
I fit home wallbox chargers, with a 7kW unit being the typical choice for a house in Slough. That gives you a proper overnight charge without needing anything special done to your supply. I handle the whole job from the survey to the certificate.
- 7kW home wallbox chargers (tethered or untethered)
- Full survey of your consumer unit and its spare capacity
- Earthing arrangement check and any required protection
- Neat, planned cable run from board to charge point
- Wiring and testing to BS 7671 and Part P
- DNO notification handled on your behalf
The Survey First
Before I fit anything, I come out and check the job over properly. It's the part that gets skipped by people who quote a flat price down the phone, and it's the part that keeps the install safe.
- 1 Check your consumer unit has room for the charger circuit
- 2 Confirm your earthing arrangement suits an outdoor charge point
- 3 Plan the cable route to keep the run tidy and safe
- 4 Agree the best mounting position for the wallbox
- 5 Provide a clear, itemised quote with no surprises
- 6 Notify your DNO and certify the completed work
Who It's For
A home charge point is for anyone with off-street parking. If you've got a driveway or a garage, you're the person I can help. I cover homes right across Slough, from Cippenham and Wexham to Upton Lea and Manor Park, and out to Windsor, Burnham and Langley. Wherever you are, the survey works the same way: I look at what you've got, then I tell you what the job actually involves.
Most of the work is on ordinary family homes. Someone's bought their first electric car, they've been charging off a three-pin plug in the garage, and they've had enough of it being slow. Take a typical job over in Cippenham, a semi with a driveway and a consumer unit that had a bit of room spare. I surveyed it, ran a tidy cable from the board out to the wall by the drive, fitted a 7kW wallbox, tested it, and notified the DNO. That's the shape of most of these installs, and it's the standard I hold every one of them to.
The reason I push the survey so hard is that no two houses are the same. One home has plenty of spare capacity in the board and a short cable run; the next needs the earthing looking at properly and a longer route planned around the house. If your board is full or ageing, you may need a consumer unit upgrade first. Both are perfectly doable. I just need to see it before I can tell you what's right, which is exactly why the quote is free and comes with no obligation.

Common Questions
How much does an EV charger installation cost?
It depends on your property. The main factors are whether your consumer unit has spare capacity, your earthing arrangement, and how far the cable has to run from the board to where you want the charger. I can't put a fair figure on it without seeing the job, so I come out and give you a free no-obligation quote first.
Which charger brands do you install?
I fit a range of well-known home wallbox chargers, both tethered and untethered. If you've already picked a brand I'll work with that where it's suitable, and if you're not sure I'll talk you through sensible options for your setup.
How long does the installation take?
Most straightforward home installs are done in a day. If the cable run is long or the consumer unit needs attention first, it can take a little longer. I'll tell you what to expect when I quote.
Do I need a three-phase supply?
No. The vast majority of homes in Slough have a single-phase supply, and a standard 7kW wallbox runs perfectly well on that. Three-phase is only relevant for higher-power chargers, which are unusual on a domestic driveway.
What's the difference between tethered and untethered chargers?
A tethered charger has the cable permanently attached, so you just plug straight into the car. An untethered unit has a socket, and you use your own cable. Tethered is more convenient day to day; untethered is tidier and more flexible if you change vehicles. I'll help you choose.
Do I need off-street parking?
Yes. A home charge point needs to be installed on your own property with off-street parking, such as a driveway or garage, so the cable never crosses a public pavement.
