Welcome to the Ellis Electrical blog
A place for straight-talking electrical advice — and the occasional bit of news — for homeowners and landlords across Essex and East London.
Over the years, the same questions come up again and again — "how much will a rewire cost?", "do I really need an EICR?", "is this socket safe?". We answer them every week on the phone and on the doorstep, so we thought we'd start writing them down.
This is that place. Expect plain-English answers with no jargon and no hard sell:
- Tips — simple things you can check or do yourself to keep your home safe and your bills sensible.
- How-to guides — what's actually involved in the bigger jobs, from rewires to EV chargers.
- Costs — honest, up-to-date price guides for Essex and East London.
- News — the occasional update from us, plus anything in the regulations worth knowing about.
A good place to start is our 7 quick electrical safety checks every homeowner should do — ten minutes, no tools, and it catches most of the common problems we get called out to.
Got a question you'd like us to cover? Give us a call on 07912 284977 or drop a line to admin@ellissolutions.co.uk — if you're wondering, chances are someone else is too.
