SFS Groundworks installing EV charging at a main car dealership

EV charging installation, groundwork and all.

The dig, the ducting and the base, done properly. We prepare the ground for domestic, commercial and public EV chargers, then leave the surface neat.

EV charging installation

The groundwork that gets your charger in the ground.

SFS Groundworks delivers reliable EV charging installation groundwork for major car manufacturers and their dealerships nationwide, as well as domestic, commercial and public-sector projects. With more than twenty years as a trusted groundworks specialist and demolition company, we manage every part of charger preparation, from site enabling and bulk excavation to foundations, trenching, ducting and surface reinstatement.

Our service goes beyond the charger itself. We handle the cable routes, the duct runs and the concrete bases for standalone or multi-point units, so your charging infrastructure is installed safely, efficiently and in full compliance, by one team that leaves the site clean.

Based in Tonbridge, Kent, we work nationwide. Get in touch for a free site survey and a clear, fixed quote.

Common questions

EV charging groundwork, answered.

What does your EV charging installation service include?
We deliver the groundwork side of EV charging, including site enabling, bulk excavation for cable routes, trenching, duct installation, concrete bases for chargers and cabinets, and surface reinstatement once the unit is in. We prepare everything the charger needs to be installed safely and cleanly.
Do you install chargers for homes and businesses?
Yes. We carry out groundwork for domestic, commercial and public-sector EV projects, from a single home charge point on a driveway to multi-point installations in commercial car parks.
Will my driveway or car park be made good afterwards?
Yes. We reinstate the surface around the installation, whether that is block paving, tarmac or hardstanding, so the finished job looks neat and the ground is left clean and complete.
Can you handle larger or rural EV schemes?
Yes. For larger and rural developments, including farms, livery yards and outdoor venues, we manage the excavation, drainage, foundations and infrastructure works alongside any equine groundworks, so the site transitions to EV charging without disrupting access or land use.
Do you work nationwide?
We are based in Tonbridge, Kent and work most often across Kent, Sussex and Surrey, but we travel nationwide for the right project. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.
