What is Rare Plumbing Website?

A bespoke digital atelier providing precision engineering and climate control services for London's most discerning luxury estates.

How much does a home EV charger installation cost in London?

A standard home EV charger installation in London typically costs £800–£1,500 + VAT, depending on the charger model, distance from your consumer unit, and whether any circuit upgrades are required. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after a survey — no hidden charges.

Which EV charger brands do you install?

We install chargers from all leading manufacturers including Ohme, Zappi (myenergi), Easee, Andersen, Pod Point and Wallbox. We are brand-agnostic and recommend the best unit for your specific vehicle, electrical capacity and smart home setup.

Do I need a dedicated circuit for an EV charger?

Yes — a home EV charger must be installed on its own dedicated radial circuit, protected by an appropriate RCBO, and connected to your consumer unit. This ensures safe charging at up to 7.4kW (32A) without overloading existing circuits.

Can I get an OZEV grant for my home charger?

The OZEV (formerly OLEV) grant for homeowners was withdrawn in 2022, but grants remain available for flat owners and renters in certain circumstances. We will advise on any current grant eligibility at survey stage and handle the paperwork where applicable.

Can you install an EV charger in a flat or underground car park?

Yes — we have experience installing EV chargers in flats, underground car parks and shared residential developments. These installations often require coordination with freeholders and may need a dedicated sub-meter. We handle the full process including any necessary permissions.

How long does EV charger installation take?

A straightforward installation — charger mounted near your consumer unit with a short cable run — typically takes 2–4 hours. More complex installations involving long cable runs, consumer unit upgrades or outdoor routing may take a half day or more.

Can my EV charger integrate with solar panels or a smart home system?

Yes — chargers like the Zappi and Easee can integrate with solar PV systems to charge your car using surplus generation. We also install chargers compatible with smart home platforms including Lutron, KNX and Control4 for seamless automation.

Our Service

Home EV charging, installed properly

A home EV charger is one of the most practical upgrades you can make to a London property — but it must be installed correctly. Every charger we fit goes on its own dedicated radial circuit, protected by an appropriately rated RCBO, and connected to a consumer unit that meets current 18th Edition standards.

We work across prime central London — from Mayfair townhouses with off-street parking to mansion flats with shared underground car parks. Every installation is Part P certified, fully tested, and comes with a formal electrical certificate for your records and your freeholder.
