Why Ace Services isa better way to hire
Free to quote, fairer prices.
Posting is free and quoting is free. Only the tradesperson you hire pays a fee, capped at £10, so the price you get is for the work, not for the website.
More options, even for small jobs.
Quoting costs nothing, so tradespeople bother with small jobs too. A dripping tap gets quotes here, not silence.
Decide without the pressure.
Quotes sit in one place until you are ready to look at them. No doorstep sales pitch, no negotiating on the phone with someone you have only just met.
Accurate quotes, first time.
Our assistant asks the questions a tradesperson would ring you to ask. So the quote is priced properly from the start, not changed once someone sees the job.
You choose who gets your number.
Your number and email stay hidden while quotes come in. Your details reach exactly one tradesperson: the one whose quote you accept.

Very easy to use. I got several quotes quickly and booked a plumber the same day.
One request and I had several tradespeople to choose from. It saved me a lot of ringing round.
Simple, and I felt in control. Having the quotes in one place made the decision easier.
Three quotes for a boiler replacement and my phone never rang once. I felt completely in control.
It asked questions about my bathroom job I hadn't thought of, so the quotes were far more accurate. Ended up hiring a great plumber.

Gas & Heating Engineers in WickfordYour questions answered
How much does a heating engineer cost in Wickford?
It depends on the job. Scope, access and materials all move the price. The quickest way to find the real going rate in Wickford is to compare quotes: post your job free on Ace Services and up to 3 vetted local gas & heating engineers will quote directly, with no obligation to hire.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year. Boiler manufacturers recommend an annual service and most of their warranties require one. Landlords must also have gas appliances safety checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months. That check is separate from a service, though many engineers do both in one visit. To book a boiler service in Wickford, post the job free on Ace Services and Gas Safe registered engineers covering SS11 and SS12 can quote for it.
Are the gas & heating engineers in Wickford Gas Safe registered?
Yes, gas & heating work on Ace Services is carried out by Gas Safe registered professionals. You can also check each tradesperson's profile, their imported Google and Facebook reviews and their Trust Score before accepting any quote.
How quickly can I get a heating engineer in Wickford?
Your job goes live to verified gas & heating engineers covering SS11 and SS12 as soon as you post it, and you get an email and push notification each time a quote arrives. Response times vary by trade and season, but quotes come to you, so there's no ringing around.
Is it free to get gas & heating quotes in Wickford?
Yes, completely free. Posting a job, receiving quotes and hiring costs you nothing. Tradespeople pay nothing to quote either, just a small success fee of 2% (max £10) if you hire them, so quotes aren't inflated to cover lead fees.
Which parts of Wickford do you cover?
Ace Services matches you with gas & heating engineers across the Wickford area, including the SS11 and SS12 postcodes, plus nearby towns such as Basildon, Rayleigh and Billericay. Enter your postcode when you post your job to reach the tradespeople who cover your street.
