Why ev charger installation costs more in Fulham
Fulham is a medium town of around 88,000 in Greater London. The housing is mostly South West London housing leans Victorian and Edwardian with pockets of 1930s semis and modern flats. That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like SW6 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings. Local trade prices sit on the expensive side for UK trade work. That's mostly wage levels plus the cost of running a van and a yard in and around Greater London.
For ev charger installation, Fulham runs about 35% above the UK average, with quotes landing £1,080 to £2,160 per charge point and a reasonable spread of local firms to draw on. London's the deepest trade market in the country, and also the priciest. ULEZ, congestion charge, parking permits, higher van insurance, it all feeds into the day rate. Most decent firms charge a callout and central boroughs run a clear premium over zones 4 and 5. Book two to three weeks ahead if you can.
A typical ev charger installation job in Fulham takes 3-6 hours and lands between £1,080 and £2,160 per charge point; the local rate runs about 35% above the UK average.
