Avoid flat-charging problems before fitting
Supply route checked
We establish whether the resident's supply can safely reach the allocated bay.
Permissions considered early
Landlord and factor consent is addressed before installation dates are agreed.
Practical cable reach
Charger position and lead length are planned around the actual parking space.
Work out where the power can come from
Your flat and parking bay may be only a short walk apart, but the electrical route between them can cross walls, paths and communal spaces. We check whether power can come from your own supply or whether the building needs a wider charging arrangement. Meter position, consumer equipment and available capacity all matter.
Before installation, you may also need consent from a landlord, property owner or factor. We review parking rights, cable routing and responsibility for shared areas so the plan is clear before anyone starts drilling. This early work helps avoid buying a charger that cannot be connected as expected.
Choose equipment that suits the parking bay
An allocated bay needs a charger placed within safe and convenient reach. A tethered unit keeps its lead attached, while an untethered charger lets you remove the cable when it isn't in use. We consider cable length, access security and the position of nearby vehicles when discussing the options. Once the resident, owner and factor have agreed the route, we complete the electrical installation and commissioning. We then explain access, controls and normal charging. If an individual supply isn't practical, we can outline why a managed building system may be the better route.
Frequently asked questions
Can a charger be connected to my flat's electricity meter?
It may be possible, but the answer depends on meter location, supply capacity, cable distance and the route through any communal areas. We survey these points before confirming whether an individual connection or wider building system is practical.
Do I need permission to install a charger at my flat?
You may need consent from the landlord, property owner or factor, particularly where cabling crosses communal property or equipment is fixed to a shared structure. Parking rights must also be clear before installation can proceed.
How do I stop other people using my charging point?
Suitable smart chargers can support access controls through an app, key or management platform, depending on the model. We discuss who should be able to charge and where the unit will sit before recommending the equipment.
