Why QuoteCheck?

A second opinion built around the quote in front of you.

Friends, search results and another quote can provide context. QuoteCheck gives you one structured place to examine the actual information supplied.

One place

Check builders, garages, landscaping and other supported UK quote types without searching across separate services.

Independent second opinion

QuoteCheck is not the company asking to sell you the work.

Beyond the headline total

We look at the available labour, materials, parts, VAT, scope and missing details.

UK-focused

The report uses UK terminology, VAT treatment and quote considerations.

Transparent estimates

Estimated ranges are not guarantees, and confidence falls when important detail is missing.

Real quote problems

What do you need to check?

The in-product categories cover car repair, home improvement and landscaping. Related trades can be assessed under the closest category when enough information is supplied.

🚗 Car repair

Garage quoted you more than expected?

Check repair, servicing, diagnostic and parts quotes for your specific vehicle.

🏠 Building work

Not sure whether your builder's price is reasonable?

Building work, extensions, bathrooms and other supported improvements.

🌳 Landscaping

Check what you're actually paying for.

Paths, fencing, turf, patios, drainage and garden work.

🔧 Plumbing

Got a plumbing quote you want a second opinion on?

Plumbing and boiler work can be checked under home improvements when enough detail is supplied.

🏠 Roofing

Understand the costs before you agree.

Roof coverings, scaffolding, timber repairs, waste and access considerations.

⚡ Electrical work

Does the quote clearly explain the work?

Rewiring and other electrical work can be checked under home improvements when sufficiently itemised.

How we assess your quote

The total is only the starting point.

QuoteCheck considers the detail available for the job, rather than pretending one headline figure tells the whole story. For car repairs, that includes the make, model, year and engine you provide.

Estimates depend on the information supplied. Actual prices vary by location, specification, materials, labour rates, access, vehicle and other circumstances. QuoteCheck does not claim to use live nationwide pricing data.

Finding someone vs checking a quote

Other services help you find tradespeople.

Directories and marketplaces can help with discovery and introductions.

QuoteCheck helps you check the price before you agree.

It analyses the quote you already have and gives you an independent second opinion. It does not recommend or sell the work.

Who is QuoteCheck for?

For the moment before you commit.

This website was made for people with a real builder quote, garage quote, repair quote or trade quote who want to understand it.

You've just received a quote and want to sense-check it before agreeing.
Several quotes are very different and you want to understand why.
The wording is technical and you cannot see what the total includes.
You want useful questions to ask before committing.

What you get for £9.99

One quote. One independent second opinion.

One payment, one complete report. No subscription. Every figure is an independent estimate based on the information you provide — not a guarantee.

The report is the reason to buy.
