Why an email. They have a website which should give you all the details you require
ie If they do searching and the cost

if not mentioned on website there will be a phone number, just call them

The personal approach is I have always found a much better option.

Many libraries and archive centres charge by the hour. So if you have any other little queries to add to the Electoral Roll search it is worth your while to ask for more than 1 search.

As a guide the average is £25.00 - £30.00 per hour (no half-hours) so more than one search of records is better value for money.

Would someone out there be able to do a search on an electoral roll for 1948 and 1953. It is for the following; 395 Abbey Road, Belvedere ,Kent.
This was the address given as the last 'living' address for a Jessie Timpson when she emigrated to Canada.
I would like to do this kind of search myself....what are the best sites for this and do you have to pay.
Thank you,
