Weigh It Up

Do It Yourself or Hire a Crew

Both routes are legitimate. Which one suits you comes down to your comfort with electrical work, your timeline and how much risk you want to carry.

Doing It Yourself

You buy the kit and handle design, mounting and connection.

What works well

  • Labour is the largest single line on most quotes — removing it cuts the total meaningfully
  • Complete control over panel choice, layout and the pace you work at
  • You finish with a genuine working knowledge of your own system
  • No waiting on anyone else's calendar

Trade-offs

  • Expect weeks, not days, once research and permits are counted
  • Specialist tools and roof-safety kit have to be bought or hired
  • No installation warranty — labour faults are yours to diagnose and fix
  • Some manufacturers limit their panel warranty when fitting is not certified

Where it can go wrong

  • Roof work and DC wiring are the two most common causes of serious injury in solar
  • A mis-flashed mount can cause leaks that only show up months later
  • Work that fails inspection may have to be stripped out and redone
  • Under-sized cable or poor earthing is a long-term fire risk

Hiring Certified Installers

A surveyed design, permits, fitting and commissioning as one job.

Most people choose this

What works well

  • Sized against your actual consumption rather than roof area alone
  • Permits, inspection and grid paperwork handled for you
  • Most homes go from survey to switch-on inside three weeks
  • Panel, inverter and workmanship warranties all stay intact
  • One accountable team if anything needs revisiting

Trade-offs

  • Labour raises the up-front cost against a self-build
  • Layout follows what the survey supports, not only what you had in mind
  • Start dates depend on crew availability and weather

Where it can go wrong

  • Quality varies between firms — check certification and recent local work
  • Vague quotes hide change fees; insist on a fixed price after survey
  • Subcontracted crews can blur who owns a problem later

The Process

How This Job Runs

Each stage has a named contact and a date you can hold us to.

  1. 01

    Survey

    An engineer measures the roof, checks structure and shading, and reviews your consumer unit.

  2. 02

    Design

    You receive a panel layout, yield forecast and fixed price before committing anything.

  3. 03

    Paperwork

    We file the permits and grid notifications and confirm your install date.

  4. 04

    Install

    Mounting, wiring and commissioning — most homes are complete in a single day.

  5. 05

    Handover

    Testing, a walkthrough of the monitoring app, and your certificates and warranty pack.

Questions

About This Service

The things people ask before booking a survey.

Can I supply my own panels?

Yes, though we will check they suit the roof and inverter before agreeing. Our workmanship warranty still applies to the installation; the panel warranty stays with whoever you bought them from.

What if the survey finds a problem?

You get told before any money changes hands. If the roof needs work first we will say so and quote it separately — and if solar is a poor fit for your property, we will tell you that too.

Do I need to be there on the day?

At the start and for the final commissioning, since we test against your consumer unit. The middle of the day is fine to leave the crew to it.

How is the price fixed?

The quote issued after your survey is the price you pay. The only variations are things you ask us to add, agreed in writing first.
