A compact cabinet fits the width on paper but blocks access to other equipment.
THE LONDON FIELD GUIDE / HOME BATTERIES
Home battery installers in London
A battery that fits inside a London cupboard may still block service access. Ask for dimensions, cable routes and clearances before comparing capacities.
START WITH THE PROPERTY
Find a serviceable position first
In a compact London property, the neatest cupboard may leave too little access or an awkward cable route. Photograph possible sites with their surrounding doors and equipment so an installer can assess the whole space.
BEFORE YOU ACCEPT A QUOTE
Ask what the drawing leaves out
Compare the specified enclosure, clearances, isolation and electrical protection alongside usable capacity. If a battery is moved after quotation, get revised cable and making-good costs before treating the original price as firm.
ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTE COMPARISON
Is the tidy cupboard really the best location?
A visible utility-wall option costs more in cabling but leaves isolation and maintenance space.
THE DECISION
Ask for manufacturer clearances and a dimensioned layout. Compare the finished electrical work, not just how discreet the battery looks in a render.

A compact installation should still be sized from real usage. Share evening demand and any solar export; ask what changes in the savings illustration if the tariff changes.
