HomeSafe Electrical provides home EV charger installation and emergency electrician call-outs for Portishead and the North Somerset coast. Based nearby in Flax Bourton (BS48), we cover marina homes, newer estates and established streets across the town. Call 0117 287 2803 or email info@homesafeelectrical.co.uk to book a free on-site survey or arrange an emergency visit.
A typical Portishead install starts with a free on-site survey. We check your consumer unit, earthing, cable route and off-street parking, then agree a fixed quote before any work begins. Installation and testing follow; we commission the charger so you can plug in with confidence. We specialise in Hypervolt chargers and also fit EO, Rolec, Indra, Easee and other leading brands — see the full range on our EV chargers we install page. Portishead’s mix of marina apartments with dedicated parking, new-build estates and older coastal streets means every run is different; the survey is where we sort cable length, mounting and any board upgrades. We completed a Hypervolt PRO showcase installation in Portishead in September 2023. For process depth across Bristol and North Somerset, read our EV charger installation hub. Local homeowners may also find our Portishead EV charger installation guide useful.
From £600 excluding VAT, depending on the charger and your current electrical installation. Fixed quote after a free on-site survey. We do not publish a “typical Portishead average” — consumer unit capacity, cable run length and mounting all change the figure. Grants and scheme rules change over time; we discuss what applies on survey rather than inventing numbers here. Book a free survey via contact or call 0117 287 2803.

If you lose power, smell burning, have a board that will not reset, or a socket that feels dangerous, call us. Safety comes first: we triage over the phone and attend when needed. Trading hours (Europe/London): Monday–Saturday 07:30–17:30; Sunday closed. Emergency rates: • Same-day: £160 + VAT first hour, then £60 + VAT per hour thereafter • 24hr / out-of-hours: £120 + VAT first hour, then £60 + VAT per hour thereafter (“24hr / out-of-hours” is a rate-band name — not a claim that we are open 24 hours.) Full regional policy also lives on our emergency electrician Bristol hub. For Portishead emergencies, phone 0117 287 2803.
Out-of-hours call-outs use the 24hr / out-of-hours rate band (£120 + VAT first hour, then £60 + VAT per hour) — see the emergency electrician Bristol page for full regional detail.
HomeSafe Electrical Ltd is a NICEIC Approved Contractor and OZEV-aware domestic EV installer, DBS-checked, working from Applegarth, Station Road, Flax Bourton, Bristol BS48 1UA. Portishead is a straightforward North Somerset run from our base — realistic weekday travel, not exaggerated promises. Local proof includes our Portishead Hypervolt PRO showcase (September 2023) and the dedicated Portishead blog guide. We also install across wider North Somerset (for example Hypervolt work in Radstock) without claiming every job is Portishead. One team covers both planned EV installs and emergency faults, so you are not juggling two contractors.

One local team for planned EV installs and emergency faults across Portishead and nearby North Somerset.
Toby and his colleague Mark installed my new storage heating system. They were efficient and extremely professional. They kept me informed at every stage as the work progressed and all health and safety requirements were adhered to.
Their end of day tidying up and cleaning was exemplary. Toby's follow up email to check that all was OK was much appreciated. Highly recommended.
- Caroline Fielding
From carrying out the initial viewing for quotation purposes to completing all the required work Toby and HomeSafe Electrical were highly professional.
We needed extra sockets put in throughout the house along with dimmer switches in a few rooms and the boiler earthing. This was all carried out in a day and Toby made sure we were informed of the progress throughout.
I will definitely use HomeSafe Electrical in the future.

Toby and his team were friendly and gave a very professional service. They talked through all my options and costing clearly and gave best solutions to my required work. They also worked clean and tidy.
Highly recommend

Had Toby out to complete work on our flat several times. Great communication, punctual, clears up after himself and accommodating. We have always been satisfied with his work.

Hi All, I have used HomeSafe Electrical for the first time, and they were absolutely brilliant, provided me with a competitive quote, stayed in a constant email conversation, but most importantly, when it came to the job, they were professional, on time, and did a great job.
I will definitely use them again and wish for more companies like that, which is a rarity now. Also, I thought that I mention that the electrician that did the job was Toby great and knowledgeable person, five-star service 5/5. Thank you.

Do you offer emergency electrician call-outs in Portishead?
Yes. We provide emergency call-outs for Portishead within our trading hours (Mon–Sat 07:30–17:30; Sunday closed) and can advise on same-day vs 24hr / out-of-hours rate bands — see the emergency section above, or the emergency electrician Bristol hub for regional detail.
How quickly can you get to Portishead from Flax Bourton?
Portishead is a short North Somerset drive from our Flax Bourton base. Typical weekday travel is usually within the hour in normal traffic; emergency response timing follows the policy on our emergency hub and the rate band that applies when we attend.
Do I need a survey or planning permission for a home charger?
We always survey before quoting. Most domestic wall-box installs on private off-street parking fall under permitted development, but we confirm constraints (listed buildings, flats, shared parking) on site.
Can you help with older fuseboards or longer cable runs in Portishead homes?
Yes. Marina and estate homes often differ from older coastal streets. If the survey shows a consumer unit upgrade or longer run is needed, we include that in the fixed quote before work starts.
