A 7.4kW home charge point starts at £400 for the installation on a standard cable run. - EV charger installation (7.4kW): from £400 - The charge point unit itself is bought and priced separately from the work of fitting it. - A long distance from board to parking space, or a board with no spare way, changes the figure, and the written quote says so beforehand. ## EV charger installation in Coulsdon A home charger is a dedicated circuit running from your consumer unit to the parking space, with the charge point mounted at the end of it. ### Houses with a drive or a garage The straightforward case, and most of our charger work: a 7.4kW point on its own circuit. ### Newer homes on the hill estates Modern boards with a spare way already, so the installation is clean and quick. ### Older semis needing a board first Where the existing unit has no spare way or no residual current protection, that is replaced beforehand. ### Extra outside work at the same time Garage sockets and garden lighting are cheap to add while the cable is already being pulled. ## Coulsdon homes and where the charger cable goes What a charger costs turns on the distance between the board and the car, and Coulsdon houses differ in exactly that. ### Valley terraces near the stations Parking is mostly on the street, so the first question is whether the cable can safely reach anywhere at all. ### Interwar semis and chalet bungalows Drive at the front, board under the stairs, which is about as short and tidy a run as it gets. ### Old Coulsdon and Bradmore Green Bigger plots and longer distances from board to parking space, and cable length is what moves the price. ### Cane Hill Park and Coulsdon Woods Modern homes where notifying the electricity network is the only paperwork the job generates. ## What happens on the day of a charger installation in Coulsdon Most installations here are finished inside a single day. ### The board, then the run to the car We start at the consumer unit to confirm there is a spare way and enough capacity, then walk the line the cable will take out to where the car sits overnight. Wall, ceiling, loft, under the drive: each has a cost in time, and we settle which one before drilling anything. This is also when you choose the height and side of the charge point, which matters more than people expect once the lead is in your hand. ### The circuit and the charge point New cable is run on its own circuit back to the board, with its own protective device, and clipped or buried properly rather than draped along a fence. The unit is mounted, wired and set up on your home network so the app on your phone talks to it. Where an older board has no spare way, the new consumer unit goes in first and the charger follows the same day. ### Testing, certificate and notification The circuit is tested before it energises: earthing, insulation and the protective device operating in time. The charge point is then run through a real charge to prove it. You get the installation certificate, and the electricity network is told about the new load, which is a legal requirement we handle rather than something left on your list. ## Why Coulsdon drivers choose TMB Electrics for a charger TMB Electrics plans the cable run with you, checks the consumer unit properly and keeps responsibility for the agreed installation clear throughout. ## Charger installations in Coulsdon Charge points, cable runs and boards photographed on installations round the town. ## Charger questions from Coulsdon drivers What people want to know before a charge point goes on the wall. ### How much does an EV charger installation cost in Coulsdon? From £400 for the installation on a standard run, with the charge point unit itself bought separately. What moves the figure is distance and difficulty: a board in the hall feeding a drive on the other side of the front wall is the cheap case, while a board at the back of the house and parking forty metres up the garden is not. The quote is fixed in writing first. ### Does my fuse board need replacing first? Only if it has no spare way for the new circuit, or no residual current protection, which is common in the older semis around here. Testing at the survey settles it in a few minutes. Where a new consumer unit is needed, it goes in on the same visit and both parts are quoted together so there is no second call out to pay for. ### What counts as a standard cable run? Roughly ten metres of cable from the board to the charge point, taken through a loft, a garage or along an inside wall, with no digging and no scaffold. Most Coulsdon semis with a front drive fall inside that. Crossing a driveway, going round the back of a long garden or getting through a solid stone wall is more work and is priced as it is found. ### Does anyone need to be told about the installation? Yes. Your electricity network operator has to be notified of the added load, and for a 7.4kW charge point that notification goes in after the work rather than waiting for permission first. We submit it as part of the job. You do not need to contact your supplier, though it is worth checking whether a different tariff would suit you once the car is charging overnight. ### How long does it take? A day covers nearly all of them, and many are done by early afternoon. The power is off for a short period while the new circuit is connected at the board, usually under an hour, and the rest of the time the house runs normally. A board replacement alongside it makes the day longer but still leaves everything working by evening. ### I live in a flat with a shared supply. Can I have one? It is a different conversation from a house with its own drive. The supply comes from a shared cupboard, the parking is usually communal, and the freeholder or management company has to agree to the cable and the space. Where that agreement exists, it can be done. Where it does not, no electrician can fix that part for you. ### Can you fit the charger I have already bought? Yes, provided it is a proper fixed charge point from a known maker rather than something ordered from an auction site. We will tell you honestly if what has arrived is not something we are willing to put on a wall. Buying through us is not compulsory, and the installation figure is the same either way. ## EV charger installation in Coulsdon, Purley, Kenley and nearby Home charge points fitted across the valley and out through the neighbouring towns. ## More electrical work in Coulsdon Boards, inspections and the rest of our Coulsdon work each have a page of their own. - [Electrician in Coulsdon](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-coulsdon): Coulsdon electrician for EV chargers, fault finding and domestic work, with supply, access and cable route checked first. - [EV charger installation (all areas)](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/services/ev-charger-installation): EV charger installation in Banstead and Surrey from £400 by TMB Electrics. 7.4kW home chargers on a dedicated circuit, installed and certified. - [All areas](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/): Company details, services, coverage, contact options and quote request. ## Book Online A picture of your consumer unit and where the car sits overnight will fix the installation price. ## Business facts - Service area: Banstead, Sutton, Wallington, Reigate, Purley, Epsom, Kingswood, Coulsdon, Tadworth, Ewell, Horley, Burgh Heath, Chipstead, Worcester Park, Ashtead - Hours: Every day 00:00–23:59 - Phone: +447460070551 - Email: trevor@tmbelectrics.co.uk ## Book Online - [Book Online](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and request a quote from TMB Electrics. ## Sitemap - [Full sitemap](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
