Help — ev charger stopped working at a Bridgend property

The practical question for a Bridgend property is not what usually happens, but what this installation actually shows when it is tested. We would explain the same thing on site, just with the board open.

Here is how ev charger stopped working works in practice for a property in Bridgend, start to finish. We test the supply, RCBO and charger unit, clear or replace as needed, and re-commission on your smart tariff before leaving. A quote that arrives before any testing is a guess with a number on it. We do it the other way round. On post-war semis in Brackla and Wildmill it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time.

EV charger stopped working in Bridgend is almost always fixable on the first visit for a fixed price. We take the view that EV charger stopped working should be established before a price is written, not after. That is slower to quote and cheaper to complete. Around CF31–CF35 it is the single most common reason a job runs long. Ev charger stopped working: what is involved, what it depends on, and what we would check first at a CF31–CF35 address.

When to stop and call

If the breaker won't reset, or the charger shows a fault LED after power-cycling.

Likely causes

The dedicated RCBO or Type A RCD in the consumer unit has tripped — often after a transient earth-leakage event.
The charger's own internal firmware has hung and needs a hard power-cycle at the isolator.
The smart tariff schedule (Intelligent Octopus, Ohme On) hasn't accepted the session — a scheduling fault, not a hardware one.
The Type 2 socket or tethered cable connector has corroded contacts after a wet winter.

How we fix it

We test the supply, RCBO and charger unit, clear or replace as needed, and re-commission on your smart tariff before leaving. Most faults are hardware or firmware and fixed same visit; warranty claims are handled with the OEM where appropriate.

Typical price: £95–£180 attendance + first-fix. Full unit replacements handled under warranty where applicable.

Safe checks you can do first

Check the charger's dedicated breaker in the consumer unit is on.
Power-cycle the charger at its own isolator (usually a rotary switch beside the unit) for 60 seconds.
Check the app for a stuck scheduled session or a paused tariff.

Bridgend context

Where the answer is to leave it alone for now, that is exactly what we will tell you. For post-war semis in Brackla and Wildmill that detail matters more than it does elsewhere.
