What other jobs do people in Cobham call an electrician for?
Larger Cobham properties tend to need jobs that involve outbuildings, heavier loads and more than one supply.
Supplies to annexes and garages
Correctly sized cables and protection for buildings away from the house.
Twin EV charging
Two chargers sharing the supply through load management.
Solar-linked charging
Chargers that use surplus solar generation, matched to your system.

Intermittent faults
Tracing faults that come and go on large installations with many circuits.
What electrical work does Paul carry out in Cobham?
Larger homes in and around Cobham often have more than one consumer unit, outbuildings on separate supplies and heavy electrical loads, so they benefit from an electrician who plans the whole installation rather than one circuit at a time.
Houses with more than one consumer unit
Extended properties often have an extra board for an extension, annexe or garage. An EICR is priced at £60 per consumer unit plus £30 per circuit, so you can see how the cost of testing a larger installation is worked out.
Garages, annexes and garden buildings
Outbuildings need a correctly sized supply with suitable protection at each end. Paul checks the existing cable and protective devices before adding sockets, lighting or heating to a building away from the house, and a new circuit is notified under Part P.
Refits and refurbishments
Major refurbishments are the best time to replace older wiring, before new plaster and decoration go on. A full or partial rewire is planned room by room with you.
Faults on long or complex installations
The more circuits a house has, the harder an intermittent fault can be to trace. Fault finding isolates each part of the installation in turn to pin down the cause.
Can you install chargers for two electric cars in Cobham?
Yes, two chargers can usually be installed at the same property, with load management sharing the available supply between them so the main fuse is not overloaded.
Before recommending a set-up, Paul checks the main fuse rating, earthing arrangement, consumer unit and the route each cable will take. Many installations can be assessed from photos and a short video, with a site visit where needed.
If you have solar panels, a charger with solar diversion can send surplus generation to the car. The EV charger page lists the brands Paul installs, including Zappi, Ohme, Hypervolt and Tesla.

Which Cobham conservation areas could affect electrical work?
Cobham and its surroundings include four conservation areas designated by Elmbridge Borough Council, so work that changes the outside of a building there, or any work to a listed building, should be checked beforehand.
The designated areas are Cobham, Cobham (Plough Corner), Stoke d'Abernon and Downside Village. Inside a home, most electrical work is unaffected, but external lights, sockets and chargers may need more thought.
For listed buildings, Historic England recommends speaking to the planning authority before any work, because changes such as new cable routes can affect a building's character.
Planning electrical work on a period Cobham property
- Check the listing status with Elmbridge planning
- Agree accessory positions room by room
- Use existing voids where practical
- Keep external fittings discreet and agreed in advance
Paul can quote once any consent questions are settled, so you know exactly what the work involves.

Cobham electrician FAQs
Do you cover Stoke d'Abernon and Fairmile?
Yes, Paul covers Stoke d'Abernon, Fairmile, Downside and the rest of Cobham and KT11. There is no call-out fee and no charge for a quote.
Can you run power to a garden building or annexe in Cobham?
Yes, Paul can install a supply to a garden building, garage or annexe with suitable protection at the house and at the building. A new circuit like this is notifiable under Part P, so it is certified and notified through NAPIT.
How is an EICR priced for a large house?
A domestic EICR is priced at £60 per consumer unit plus £30 per circuit, so the cost reflects the size of the installation. Unlabelled circuits or a need for an extra person to assist can add time, and Paul explains this before he visits.
Can I charge two electric cars at home?
Yes, in most homes two chargers can be installed with load management so they share the available supply without overloading the main fuse. Paul checks your supply beforehand and advises if the network operator needs to upgrade it.
Do I need permission for an outside light in a Cobham conservation area?
Usually not for a typical domestic light, but listed buildings and prominent elevations may need consent, so check with Elmbridge Borough Council if you are unsure. Paul can then fit the agreed fittings in the agreed positions.
Do you install solar-compatible chargers such as the Zappi?
Yes, Paul installs the myenergi Zappi and other chargers that can divert surplus solar generation into your car. He checks the charger, your solar installation and your energy tariff work together before recommending a unit.
Can you replace the consumer unit in a large house?
Yes, Paul assesses the existing board alongside the condition of the installation and the test results, then explains whether replacement is needed. His usual specification for a new board includes individual RCBOs and surge protection.
Who carries out the work?
Paul carries out the work himself, sometimes with one or two people assisting on larger jobs. You deal with him directly from your enquiry to the test certificate.
