EV charging for Finchley homes

Finchley’s streets mix Edwardian terraces around Church End, classic 1930s semis through West Finchley and Woodside Park, and mansion blocks and flats along Ballards Lane and the High Road — and each of those needs a slightly different approach to cable routing and charger placement. Our photo survey is built around exactly these differences: pictures of your fuse board, parking spot and cable route tell us everything we need to give you a fixed price that doesn’t change on the day. Flats and rentals are welcome too — we’ll talk you through freeholder and landlord permissions as part of the quote.

Chargers we install

We’re brand-independent and install all the leading units — Zappi, Ohme, Hypervolt, Easee, Andersen, Tesla Wall Connector and more — so you get the right charger for your car, your tariff and your budget, not whichever one an installer has in the van. Not sure which suits you? Try our EV Charger Selector tool or just ask.

How it works

1. Free remote survey. A few questions and a few photos from your phone — our guides show you exactly what to snap. About 10 minutes.
2. Fixed quote. We price the whole job from your survey. If your property needs an in-person look instead, a site visit is £75, fully refunded when you go ahead.
3. Installation day. A NICEIC-registered engineer fits, tests and demonstrates your charger — most Finchley installs are completed in half a day. We handle the DNO (electricity network) notification for you.
4. Aftercare. Every installation carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer’s warranty.

Frequently asked questions — EV chargers in Finchley

Do I need planning permission for an EV charger in Finchley?

Almost never — home charge points are permitted development. The exceptions are listed buildings and conservation areas; parts of Finchley sit within or beside protected areas (including the fringes of Hampstead Garden Suburb near East Finchley, where rules are notably stricter). Mention it in your survey and we’ll advise before anything is booked.

Can you install at a terrace or a flat?

Often, yes. Terraces come down to parking arrangement and cable route — exactly what the photo survey establishes. Flats need freeholder or landlord consent and a suitable supply, and we’ve guided plenty of Finchley leaseholders through that process. Where a standard install isn’t possible, we’ll tell you straight and explain the options.

Are there any grants available?

The old £350 homeowner grant closed some years ago, whatever some installers’ websites still claim. Current government support is targeted — principally at flat owners, renters, landlords and workplaces — and schemes change. We’ll check what applies to you as part of your quote.

How much does installation cost?

It depends on the charger you choose and how far it sits from your fuse board — see our installation cost guide for typical prices. Whatever we quote from your survey is fixed.
