EV charger installation in Hinckley
Hinckley has close links with the motor industry, with the MIRA Technology Park just outside town, and more and more local drivers are switching to electric. Charging at home overnight is the cheapest and most convenient way to run an EV, but the installation has to be done properly.
Before fitting any charger we check your supply capacity, earthing arrangement and consumer unit. Where the board is old or full, we'll recommend a consumer unit upgrade first. Then we install a smart charger on its own protected circuit, set it up on your phone and certify the work. Find out more on our EV charger installation page, and check current grant eligibility on GOV.UK.


New homes in Barwell, Earl Shilton and Burbage
Large new neighbourhoods are being built around Barwell and Earl Shilton, and Burbage continues to grow. Owners of these homes often ask us for:
- More sockets and USB points in kitchens, bedrooms and home offices
- Outdoor sockets and garden lighting
- Video doorbells, security lights and CCTV wiring
- Power for garages, sheds and garden offices
Older homes in Hinckley town
Hinckley's heritage as a hosiery and knitwear town means plenty of Victorian terraces and early 20th-century homes close to the centre. In these properties we carry out EICRs, consumer unit upgrades and rewires, always explaining what's needed and what can wait.
Rural properties around Market Bosworth
To the north of Hinckley, the villages around Market Bosworth, Sutton Cheney and Shenton are surrounded by farmland, and many homes have outbuildings, stables, workshops or long driveways. These properties often need power run a long way from the house, which means choosing the right cable size to avoid voltage drop and protecting it properly underground.
We install armoured supplies to outbuildings, fit sub-main consumer units, add outdoor and security lighting, and put in gate and driveway power. Older farmhouses in the area can also benefit from an EICR to check that decades of additions have been done safely.
