What we check

Three checks every UK homeowner should do. We do all three.

01

Price check

Every price compared with what the work really costs where you live.

02

Builder check

How long they've been trading, whether their paperwork is filed, and any sign of money trouble.

03

Plain-English advice

Exactly what to push back on, what's missing from the quote, and the red flags to ask about.

What you get back

The full picture on every quote.

Fairness score

A 0–100 score, plus the numbers behind it.

One glance tells you where the quote stands: the total you were quoted, the fair price range for your area, and how much over (or within) it you are. Every price is also marked fair, high, low or a red flag on its own.

Builder check

A live background check on the builder's company.

Whether the company is active, how long it's been trading, if its paperwork is filed, who runs it, and any sign of money trouble, looked up live from the official UK records. We also check whether the people behind it have run other companies that went bust.

Prices for your area

London prices aren't Yorkshire prices.

Every price is checked against what that work really costs where you live. The price range you see is the one for your area, not a national average that ignores where you are.

Tiling: full splashback
£280£380–£490£650 quoted
What to do next

Go back to the builder and ask them to break down the tiling cost. £650 is about 35% above the going rate for your area. Also ask for a written warranty, which this quote is missing.

Plain-English advice

Specific things to take to your builder.

No jargon. No vague warnings. Just what to push back on, what to ask, and what's missing from the quote that you should get in writing.

What's at stake

The average UK homeowner loses £1,759 to bad building work. 1 in 3 are hit with unexpected costs.
