Planning home EV charger installation in Sanderstead
- 01
When the fuse box is far away
If your consumer unit is at the back of the house and you park at the front, or the charger is going on a detached garage, the cable run can be long. Longer runs need thicker cable to avoid voltage drop, and we plan the neatest, safest route.

Garage or outside wall
A charger inside a garage is protected from the weather and can stay out of sight, but the car must be parked inside to use it. An outside wall suits cars parked on the drive. If you do both, a longer cable or a charger by the garage door can work.

Picking the right cable length
Most charging cables are 5 metres, with longer ones available. Measure from where the charger will go to the car's charging port when parked, allowing some slack. A cable that's too short ends up stretched, and one that's far too long is awkward to coil away.
Booking a home EV charger installation in Sanderstead
We fit chargers across Sanderstead from our South Croydon base. Send us photos of the fuse box, meter and parking area, or we'll visit, and we'll confirm the charger position and cable route with you before quoting.
On the day, we run the supply, fit the charger and any earth protection it needs, then test it. We connect it to your Wi-Fi, set the charging schedule and notify the network operator. You keep the installation certificate.

Home EV charger installation in Sanderstead: your questions
Can you fit a home EV charger in a detached garage in Sanderstead?
Yes. We run a suitably sized cable from the house to the garage, usually armoured and buried or clipped along a wall, and fit the charger inside or on the outside wall. The longer route is included in your quote after we've seen the site.
Is it better to mount my EV charger inside the garage in Sanderstead?
It depends on where you park. If the car goes in the garage every night, an inside charger is tidy and sheltered. If it usually sits on the drive, an outside wall is more practical. We'll suggest the position that fits how you use your home.
What length of charging cable do I need for my Sanderstead drive?
Measure from the charger position to the car's charging port, then add a metre or two of slack. Five metres suits most drives where the car parks close to the wall. If you park further away or reverse in, a longer cable may be needed.
Will fitting an EV charger damage my driveway in Sanderstead?
Not usually. Most chargers are fixed to the house or garage wall with the cable run along or through the wall. If a cable has to cross a drive, we discuss the options first, such as a neat cut and ducting, and agree it before any work starts.
