Most of Walsall is well suited to home charging: driveways, garages and off-street parking are common across the outer estates, and a standard 7kW unit on a dedicated circuit will fill a typical car overnight on an off-peak tariff. Terraced streets closer to the town centre are the harder cases, and we will tell you honestly on the survey if there is no safe, compliant way to get a cable from the board to the car without crossing a public footpath.
The work itself is straightforward when it is done in the right order. We check the incoming supply and main fuse rating, look at what the rest of the house is already drawing, plan the cable route, and install the charge point on its own protected circuit with the correct earthing arrangement for the supply type. Notification to the distribution network operator is part of a compliant charge point installation, and the job is tested and certified before we leave.
Whether it is one unit on a driveway or several bays behind a business unit, you get the same approach.

Home units, workplace bays and the supply work that has to happen behind them.
The standard single-phase home unit: tethered or untethered, on its own protected circuit, sited where the cable actually reaches the charging port without being dragged across a path.
Cable routed through the garage, along the eaves or under the drive edge — clipped, trunked or buried so it is protected and does not look like an afterthought bolted to the front of the house.
Modern units connect to an app so you can schedule charging into cheap overnight windows. We commission the unit, get it onto your wi-fi and show you how the scheduling works before we pack up.
Staff, visitor and van bays for Walsall businesses — single or three-phase, single units or a row of them, with containment and distribution planned around how the site actually parks.
Before anything is fitted we check the main fuse, the meter tails and the existing board. Where the supply is tight, load management or a board upgrade is the honest answer rather than hoping it copes.
From first message to a commissioned, certified charge point.
We look at the supply, the board, the parking and the cable route — on site or from photos and a postcode.
A fixed price covering the unit, the circuit, the cable run and the certification. No day-of surprises.
The charge point goes on its own protected circuit with the cable routed the way we agreed on the survey.
Tested, certified, connected to the app and demonstrated before we leave the drive.
Charge points are one part of what we do in Walsall. The other services below are covered by the same NAPIT-registered electrician, in Walsall and the towns around it.
What Walsall drivers and businesses ask before booking a charge point.
The unit itself is only part of it. The variables are the cable run length, whether the route is straightforward, and whether the existing board and main fuse can take another dedicated circuit. Send us a postcode and a photo of the fuse board and where you park and we will price it properly. Free quote here.
A typical single home charger is a half-day to a day, depending on the cable route. Anything involving a board change, a supply upgrade or multiple workplace bays is planned as a longer job and quoted that way.
Usually, but it has to be checked rather than assumed. We look at the main fuse rating, the meter tails and what the property already draws. Where it is marginal, load management lets the charger back off when the house demand is high instead of forcing a supply upgrade.
Yes, in some form. For most homes photos of the fuse board, the parking spot and the wall where the unit would go are enough. For business sites we will come out and look at the distribution and how the bays are used.
Tethered means the cable is attached and always there, which suits a single car on a driveway. Untethered is a socket you plug your own cable into — tidier, more flexible if cars change, and usually the better call for shared or workplace bays.
Yes. Staff and visitor bays, van fleets and multi-unit installations, single or three-phase. If the site needs distribution work first, we quote that as part of the same job rather than leaving you to arrange it.
Real reviews from customers across Wolverhampton & the West Midlands. You deal directly with Adam, every time.
Adam fitted a new light to an inline fan in our bathroom. He came within an hour of my call and promptly sorted the issue. He was very polite and professional.
Adam was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Changed the old fuse box to a brand new one. I would recommend his service to anyone — definitely will be using him again for any future work.
Came out last minute on a Sunday evening to sort my broken shower out. Polite, great communication and above all professional. 10/10, will be using again!
Called Sunday afternoon to ask about replacing our bathroom light switch — he came to fix it a couple of hours later. Fabulous job.
Adam is an excellent electrician — very reliable, professional, clean and tidy throughout his work. Arrived on time, very efficient. Highly recommended.
Adam carried out an EICR on our property and I was really impressed with his service. Communication was excellent from start to finish, he was transparent with pricing, and provided a clear breakdown of any issues.
Really impressed by the level of service I received. I needed 2 sockets moving and called for a quote — I had a quote the same day and a clear outline of what would happen and when. Everything happened exactly as organised.
Adam had a flexible approach and wasn't fazed when the wiring wasn't as expected (the house is old and weird). He found the most effective way to fix the issue and make the system safe, with the absolute minimum of necessary damage.
Came to me to check the electrics and make sure all is safe in a shed I built in the garden. Did a very thorough job! Very friendly and professional.
Very professional and friendly.
Adam is a true professional — nothing was too much trouble to make sure my requirements for installing my new fire were met. He installed a connection from a spur and did a top job. 5 star service, would definitely recommend.
Excellent job, very knowledgeable and high standard of quality. Would recommend to anyone requiring electrical work!
Off-street parking is common across much of Walsall, which makes home charging straightforward in the outer estates and out through Bloxwich. Closer in, around Caldmore and Palfrey, terraced streets need more thought — and we will say so rather than fitting something that means trailing a cable over a footpath. Business bays around Bescot and Pleck are a different job again.
