How it works

Four checks before you sign.

We check if your builder's prices are fair and if their company is solid, then tell you exactly what to ask them.

01 · PASTE

Paste the quote exactly as it arrived.

Copy the text from any email, PDF or photo. Every price, the materials, the totals: whatever you have, paste it in.

The more detail you give us, the better the check. We'll still check a vague quote, but anything the builder hasn't broken down, we flag so you know what to ask for.

02 · CHECK EVERY PRICE

Every price, checked against your area.

We compare each price to what that work really costs where you live. Prices in London aren't prices in Yorkshire, and we don't pretend they are.

Each price comes back marked fair, high, low or a red flag, so you can see exactly where the money's going and which ones to push back on.

03 · CHECK THE BUILDER

A live check on the builder's company.

If they're a registered company, we look them up in the official UK company records: how long they've been trading, whether their paperwork is up to date, who runs it, and any sign of money trouble or debts. We also check whether the people behind it have run other companies that failed.

If they're a one-person business that isn't set up as a company, we tell you that plainly, so you know to ask a few more questions instead of guessing.

What to do next

Ask the builder 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.

04 · SCORE & ADVICE

A fairness score, and exactly what to say.

A 0–100 score, the total you were quoted, the fair price range for your area, and how much over (or within) it you are. Every price marked on its own.

Plus a short list of what to push back on, what to ask, and what's missing from the quote that you should get in writing. No jargon, no vague warnings.
