EV Charger Installation in Orpington
Sidcup Electrical provides EV charger installation in Orpington. Chris Whyte carries out every job himself, fully insured with public liability cover of £20 million, with free quotes and all work tested and certified.
Sidcup Electrical covers Orpington as part of its 20 mile radius across South East London and Kent, including the streets around Orpington High Street and Priory Gardens. Housing here is typically BR5 and BR6 commuter belt family homes, mostly owner occupied and gradually improved. A home charge point sits on its own protected circuit so an electric car charges safely overnight. Chris surveys the supply first, because most homes can take a charge point but it depends on the incoming supply, the consumer unit and where the car parks.

Orpington FAQs
Yes. Sidcup Electrical installs EV charge points in Orpington and across a 20 mile radius from Sidcup, usually in a single day.
Most homes can take a charge point, but it depends on the incoming supply, the consumer unit and where the car parks. That is exactly what the survey checks before any price is agreed.
A straightforward home installation is usually a single day. Longer cable runs, or a consumer unit that needs work first, can push it into a second day, which is flagged at survey.
Not always. The charge point needs its own protected circuit, so if there is a spare way and the board is in good order it can often be fed from the existing unit.
Tethered means the cable is permanently attached, which is quicker day to day. Untethered keeps the wall unit tidy and works with different cars and cables.
A standard home charge point runs at 7kW, which typically adds a full charge overnight for most cars. The car's own on board charger sets the ceiling.
Yes. Garages, carports and side walls are all common positions, and often make the cable run neater than a front elevation.
Yes. The installation and certification are the same, and the certificate goes to whoever needs it for the property file.
Yes. The new circuit is tested and certified to current wiring regulations, and the paperwork is handed over on the day.
