New housing has also been completed on the Portbury Ashlands, to the east of the harbour. We work on everything from older town-centre properties to newer estates, for homeowners, landlords and local businesses.
An EICR in Portishead costs £195 for flats up to 2 bedrooms and £220 for houses up to 4 bedrooms. Larger homes are quoted. Everything else gets a clear price before anything is booked. Your report or certificate is emailed as soon as the work is done, often the same day, and notifiable work such as a new consumer unit or new circuits is registered with North Somerset Council building control through our NAPIT registration.
