What homeowners ask builders

With what our guides tell them. Answer these in your quote, and later on your listing.

Is your price in line with what this job should cost?

Homeowners can type a builder’s total into our quote checker and see whether it sits below, within or above the typical range for the same job and region. A full renovation of a 90 m² house sits at about £86,500 to £130,000 for the building work, including VAT, UK average outside London.

Does your quote include VAT?

We tell homeowners a price without its VAT basis can’t be compared, so say clearly whether your total includes VAT, adds it on top or has none because you aren’t VAT registered. Our homeowners’ guide: do builders’ quotes include VAT?

What isn't in the price?

Our guide to what a builder’s quote should include lists the items people most often forget, such as making good, skips, site setup and who pays for building control. Naming them in your quote answers the question before it’s asked.

Are you a member of a trade association?

Federation of Master Builders membership and TrustMark registration will show as badges on your listing once we’ve checked them. Neither is needed to appear on the map.

What homeowners will ask you to confirm

From the checklist in our whole-house renovation guide:

Survey: Structural, damp and electrical condition.
Order of works: Structure, first fix, plastering, second fix, finishes.
Big-ticket items: Kitchen, bathroom, heating and electrics.
Certificates: Electrical Installation Certificate, building regulations compliance certificates and the Gas Safe certificate.
Contingency: Hold at least 15%, more for older houses.

What we’ll check before builders appear

Companies House, if you’re a limited company or LLP: we’ll check the company is active.
Only if you take waste away: Waste carrier registration. The law and the registers
Who runs the business: an ID check, or a code letter for a company’s director.

Badges you can add (not needed to appear): TrustMark and Federation of Master Builders, and insurance.

Your listing will say, for example: Checked by Estiquote on 30 October 2026:

If you’re a limited company

Active company at Companies House

Limited company · VAT registered

If you’re a sole trader

Sole trader: business details checked by Estiquote

Sole trader · Not VAT registered

When sign-up opens for builders, have ready your company number if you’re a limited company, your waste carrier registration number if you take waste away. Then you’ll create your account and send your profile for checks; we’ll usually reply within 5 working days.

Homeowners will choose up to 3 firms by name, and reviews will come only from real jobs, checked by a person: how quote requests and reviews will work.
