I’m a British passport holder and want to set up a 1 year ED visa, can someone message me about prices and details.

Phuket based.
Answer summary
A British passport holder in Phuket is inquiring about setting up a 1-year Education (ED) visa. To obtain this visa, you will need to coordinate with a school where you intend to study, as they must provide supporting documentation for your application. It's advisable to specify the course of study you're interested in, as this can influence the visa process. Additionally, there are recent concerns regarding the ED visa, particularly about maintaining compliance with study requirements to avoid potential issues with authorities. Alternatives like the 5-year DTV visa are mentioned, but note that working with this visa is not permitted.

If you are working in Phuket, why does the real estate company not provide you with a Thai work permit ?

And the choice of obtaining an Ed visa for Thai language is not the best way to stay in Thailand. Recent years of crackdown on those who have the Ed visa in their passport is real. Make sure you are actively attending Thai language classes in person and not traveling out of Thailand during the course of study.

The choice of obtaining the 5 year DTV visa may be a better choice for you....but with it, you CANNOT work in Thailand.

that wasn't the question. If you are working in Thailand it's illegal to do so on an ED visa

Always helps to mention what you want to study - unless you don't , you just want the visa!

You do it with support from the school you wish to study at. They need to supply documentation to support your application, and with that it's relatively easy to do yourself.
