Questions

How accurate is it?

It compares your quote with typical UK prices for that kind of work. It's a well-informed guide, not a survey – real prices vary with access, materials, location and experience. Use it to ask better questions, not as the final word.

Will the tradesperson know I checked?

No. Nothing is sent to them. You decide whether to share anything.

Does a "high" verdict mean I'm being overcharged?

Not necessarily. Good tradespeople are often busy and price accordingly, and some jobs have hidden difficulties. A high verdict means it's worth asking what's included – our questions help with that.

What happens to my photos and PDFs?

They're used to read the quote and aren't kept. The written report is stored for 30 days so you can come back to it, then deleted. See our privacy policy.

What kinds of quotes can it check?

Most home and building work in the UK – roofing, plumbing, heating, electrics, building, bathrooms, kitchens, decorating, plastering, flooring, landscaping and more.

Can I get a refund?

If your report doesn't load or is clearly broken, email us and we'll refund you. See our terms.
