EV charger installation in Uxbridge
Uxbridge is a mix — older houses out towards Hillingdon and Cowley, newer flats and developments nearer the town centre. Which one you are in changes the job completely, so this page covers both.

If you live in a house with a driveway
This is the straightforward version. A dedicated circuit from your consumer unit out to the charger, load management if your supply needs it, tested, certified and usually done in an afternoon. Starts at £850.
The usual complication is the age of the consumer unit. If yours is a plastic board with rewireable fuses it will need replacing before another circuit goes on it — not because anyone is trying to sell you something, but because it cannot be certified otherwise. That adds to the total, and we will give you the figure at the quote stage rather than on the day.
If you live in a flat — this is where the £500 is
This is the part most installers skip, and it is worth reading properly.
If you rent any home, or own a flat, and you have private off-street parking, you can claim up to £500 towards a chargepoint. That covers an allocated bay in a residents car park, a space in an underground garage, or a marked space on the development. It does not cover parking on the public road.
There are usually three things to sort out, and we can help with all of them.
1. Permission
The freeholder or management company has to agree. Most will, but they will want to know who is doing the work and what certification you will get. Our NICEIC Approved Contractor registration usually settles it.
2. The cable route
From your flat consumer unit to your bay, which sometimes means running through a communal area. This is the part that needs thinking about properly, and it is why we survey rather than guess.
3. Metering
Whose electricity is it? Usually yours, off your own supply. Occasionally it comes off a landlord supply and that needs sorting out first.
A flat install takes longer than a house and is a bit more involved. It is also completely normal, and the £500 takes a decent bite out of the cost.
If you are a landlord
Up to £500 per socket, on as many as 200 sockets. If you have several properties around Uxbridge it adds up quickly, and we can carry out the EICRs at the same visit rather than making two trips.
What it costs in Uxbridge
Standard 7kW install from £850. With a consumer unit replacement, more — we price that from the photos. Flat installations vary more because the cable run does, so we price those after a look rather than before.

EV charger questions, answered straight
Can I get an EV charger fitted at a flat in Uxbridge?
Usually yes, if you have private off-street parking such as an allocated bay. You will need the freeholder or management company to agree, and the cable route needs planning. You can also claim up to £500 towards it.
Who do I need permission from?
The freeholder or the managing agent. We provide our NICEIC registration and details of the work, which is normally what they want to see.
Does the £500 grant cover on-street parking in Uxbridge?
No. That is a different scheme and it requires a cross-pavement solution, which Hillingdon Council does not permit. See our page on charging without a driveway.
I am a landlord with several properties. Is it worth it?
Up to £500 per socket across up to 200 sockets, so usually yes. We can combine installations with EICRs to save visits.
How long does a flat installation take?
Longer than a house — often a full day, occasionally two if the cable route is complicated. We tell you after the survey, not on the day.
