Get a QuotePrices shown are “from” prices for the smallest, simplest qualifying property. Final price depends on property size, number of bedrooms, access, urgency, location, number of electrical circuits, whether the property is an HMO/commercial property, and whether any remedial works are needed.
Package and service prices cover inspection and certification coordination only. Any remedial labour, parts or repair works are quoted separately once inspection findings are known.
We work with qualified, registered and insured engineers and assessors. We don't claim to be the cheapest option in Essex — our pricing reflects a fully coordinated service, not just a single trade visit.
Guide prices are for standard qualifying properties. Final price is confirmed before booking and depends on property type, location, access, urgency, number of circuits/appliances and supplier availability.
ECS coordinates bookings with suitable independent suppliers. Regulated inspections and certificates are completed by appropriately qualified suppliers.
