EV charger installation in Streatham

7kW tethered unit supplied and installed, up to 10m cable run.
Streatham is by a distance the best area we cover for EV chargers, and it is where we do most of our installs. The great majority of the 1930s semis in Streatham Vale and Furzedown have a driveway or a hardstanding front garden, the meter is usually in an accessible position at the front of the house, and cable runs are short. Most are a straightforward half-day at the base price. The one thing to check is the main fuse — a fair number of these houses are still on 60A, and with an electric shower already fitted that needs either load balancing or a supply upgrade before a 7kW charger makes sense.
The property types we see in Streatham
The 1930s semis around Streatham Vale and Furzedown are the defining stock — bay-fronted, cavity-walled, with generous loft space and accessible floor voids, which makes them the easiest properties on our patch to work in. Their weakness is the vintage of their last upgrade: a great many were partially rewired in the 1970s or early 80s, which means PVC cable that is genuinely old, wall-mounted fuse boxes of that era, and lighting circuits with no earth. Telford Park is larger Edwardian housing, much of it still whole houses. Streatham Hill has interwar mansion blocks with communal risers and, in several cases, original 1930s intake positions still in service.
What ev charger involves
A 7kW home charger costs from £850 installed, including the unit, a dedicated circuit and DNO notification. The real question in inner London is not the charger — it is whether your main fuse and supply can carry it, and whether you can legally run a cable to where you park. We check both before quoting.
You need us if
- You have taken delivery of an electric or plug-in hybrid car
- You are relying on a three-pin granny cable and want to stop
- You have off-street parking, a driveway or an allocated bay
- You are a landlord or freeholder adding chargers to a block
- Your existing charger has failed or needs moving
- You want load balancing so the charger does not trip the house
What's included
- Supply capacity check — main fuse rating and existing load, before we quote
- DNO notification handled for you (required for every install)
- Dedicated circuit from the consumer unit with its own RCBO
- Load-balancing CT clamp so the charger throttles instead of tripping
- Cable run agreed with you, clipped and routed neatly, not the shortest ugly line
- Installation certificate, Part P notification and manufacturer registration
The standard we work to
Installed to BS 7671 Section 722 and the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021, with DNO notification under ENA G98/G99.
Getting to you in Streatham
Streatham is the furthest south we go and the response time reflects the run down the A23. Parking is markedly easier than the rest of the patch — much of SW16 is uncontrolled or lightly controlled, and most 1930s houses have a driveway, which makes van access simple and keeps costs down. The Streatham Hill mansion blocks need porter access for intake cupboards.
