SureCare Colchester & Braintree has told us it charges from £60 an hour for bank holiday hourly rate, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £840 a week. That is about 122% above the typical hourly rate in Essex of £27.
