Has anyone used Smart Home Charge for installing their charging point? Praise, criticism or other suggestions welcomed.

Thanks for the response. On Trustpilot they get 93% excellent out of 630+ reviews.I used them to install my Wallbox Pulsar Plus.
I had to send photos/videos of my meter box, fuse box and where I wanted my charger, along with a wide shot proving I had off road parking. They quoted for the charger plus a DCBO. I had to pay up front. The original appointment had to be postponed when my local engineer was hospitalised by electrocution! Two guys came a couple of days later from further afield, and installed it all Ok, and it's worked well ever since. I had to perform an update the 1st time, and several since. I did have to chase up for the installation certificate, which they emailed to me. They are part of Response EPR Ltd.
I'm happy with me installation, and it was £568 including the charger with tethered cable, DCBO, and the English Govt. Grant of £350. Which was cheaper than many other prices.
I would use them again.
Always good to get multiple quotes but in case you didn't know Rightcharge don't do the install, the lead just gets handed over to another installer. So the experience is entirely dependent on which installer you get given.I'm just waiting for Right Charge to quote and get a third from Ohme direct.
Smarthomecharge came back with a quote quite quickly. I've gone with them as I wanted to get something ordered this week. Rightcharge said they'd quote in another 1 to two days time. In the end they were £2 cheaper and quote was a bit more detailed.Always good to get multiple quotes but in case you didn't know Rightcharge don't do the install, the lead just gets handed over to another installer.

Smarthomecharge is installing my Ohme Home Pro next Thursday, a turn around of two weeks from quote. I was expecting several weeks judging from other installers. Impressive.Smarthomecharge came back with a quote quite quickly. I've gone with them as I wanted to get something ordered this week. Rightcharge said they'd quote in another 1 to two days time.

I was going to use that company but found a local company, Utley EV, to install a Ohme Pro for £600, £50 cheaper than Smart home charge.Has anyone used Smart Home Charge for installing their charging point? Praise, criticism or other suggestions welcomed.

I too enquired locally, Camel, but was told there's a three month wait. So far I'm impressed with SmartHomecharge. Installation has been put back a week due to covid though.I was going to use that company but found a local company, Utley EV, to install a Ohme Pro for £600, £50 cheaper than Smart home charge.
My Ohme Home Pro was installed today. It's not particularly pretty especially with the external distribution box that had to be fitted. It does the job.Smarthomecharge is installing my Ohme Home Pro next Thursday, a turn around of two weeks from quote. I was expecting several weeks judging from other installers. Impressive.
Didn't they provide a hook for you to hang the type 2 cable from when coiled up? I bought a suitable hook from screwfix for under £5. The code is 9318J if you want to take a look.My Ohme Home Pro was installed today. It's not particularly pretty especially with the external distribution box that had to be fitted. It does the job.
Yes they did. It's the where the plug is located, I just didn't coil it up. It can be seen if zoomed in. I might relocate the holder as it's a bit crowded.Didn't they provide a hook for you to hang the type 2 cable from when coiled up? I bought a suitable hook from screwfix for under £5.
