If your home or business does not already have an earth from our network, you can apply for us to provide one for you, though we may need to check that an earth is available in your location.
You can use our online service to request an earth for a single domestic or small commercial property and it’s free of charge.
When the earth has been provided, your electrician will need to ensure the property earthing meets the relevant BS 7671 requirements before using it.
If you need an earth for more than one domestic or small commercial property or for a large commercial/industrial property, charges may apply. Please call us on 0800 0113332 if you’re not sure.

Do you need to arrange to disconnect electric supplies at your home or business?
