Charging for flats, rental property and managed sites
Tenants are asking for it and buyers are starting to expect it.
What it involves
Flats are a different problem from houses
Charging at a block of flats is a different problem from charging at a house. One supply, several leaseholders, a car park nobody individually owns, and a need for whoever uses the electricity to be the one who pays for it.
We design around that. Shared supply, metered per user, access controlled so the bays are not open to the street, and the grant paperwork handled so the scheme carries part of the cost.

Shared supply, individual billing
01
Shared supply, individual billing
The usual answer for a block is a shared feed to a small number of units, each metering its own sessions. Residents are billed for what they use rather than the cost landing on the service charge, and the units share the available capacity so the block's supply is never the limiting factor.
- One design covering the whole car park rather than unit by unit retrofits
- Per user metering, so the electricity is paid for by whoever used it
- Access by card or app, so only residents and their visitors can charge
- Capacity shared across the units, so the block supply carries more bays

Grants for landlords and blocks
There is grant support aimed specifically at landlords and at residential car parks, separate from the domestic scheme. It has its own rules about the number of sockets and the type of property, and the rates change, so we confirm what your property qualifies for at survey and make the application.

Units that suit the building
A charger bolted to the front of a period building in a conservation area is a planning conversation nobody wants. The Rolec range includes units with interchangeable covers and wall mounted options that sit far more quietly on a building, and on managed sites we would usually rather run a pedestal in the car park than fix anything to the facade.
04
Managed sites and multiple properties
Where a managing agent looks after several sites, the value is in one specification and one platform rather than six different installers and six different apps. Reporting comes back per site, maintenance is one contract, and the residents get the same experience wherever they live.

Questions
What people ask us about this
Whoever uses it. Each unit meters its own sessions and residents are billed for their own charging, so the cost does not land on the service charge and get spread across residents who do not drive.
Yes, there is support aimed specifically at landlords and at residential car parks, separate from the domestic scheme. It has its own rules on socket numbers and property type and the rates change, so we confirm what your property qualifies for and handle the application.
Usually. The units share the spare capacity on the existing supply rather than each demanding full power, which on most blocks means a useful number of bays without a new connection.
We would normally keep the equipment off the building entirely and run a pedestal in the car park. Where a wall unit is the only option there are models with covers that sit far more quietly than a standard charger.
Yes. One specification, one platform and one maintenance contract across the sites, with reporting broken down per site. That is usually the point at which a managing agent stops using different installers.
