Compare home improvement quotes
Got two or three quotes for the same job and they are miles apart? Put the totals in, tick what each one covers, and this free tool shows which quotes are actually comparable, what each is missing, and which is the best value once VAT and the gaps are added in. No sign-up, and nothing is sent anywhere.

VAT is the big one: a cheaper-looking quote that leaves it out can end up dearer.
How to compare quotes fairly
- Give every installer the same written spec, so their prices cover the same work. Most big differences come from scope, not from one being a rip-off.
- Check VAT first. A price without VAT can be 20% higher than it looks, though smaller firms under the threshold do not charge it.
- Ask who pays for waste removal, skip hire, scaffolding and making good. These are often left out of the headline figure.
- Compare the guarantee and the payment schedule, not just the total. Never pay a large deposit up front for the whole job.
