Frequently asked questions
Is FairerQuote free for customers?
Yes. Posting a job or an existing quote is free. There is no subscription and no obligation to accept an offer.
How much does a house rewire cost in the UK?
Published 2026 guidance commonly places a typical 3-bed house rewire around £4,450–£8,000. Compare electrician quotes on the same rooms, circuits and certification before you accept.
How do I compare a roofing quote?
Check area, materials, scaffolding, waste and VAT. Then post the same scope on FairerQuote so other roofers can offer against it with labour and materials shown separately.
Do businesses pay to send offers?
No. Sending an offer is free. The first confirmed win is free. Later wins use a fixed success fee of £5–£100, not a percentage of the job.
How much does a house rewire cost in the UK in 2026?
Published guides commonly place a typical 3-bedroom house rewire around £4,450–£8,000. Larger homes, occupied properties and difficult access cost more. Use the range as a sense-check, then compare quotes on the same rooms, circuits and certification.
What should a house rewire quote include?
Rooms and circuits covered, number of points, consumer unit specification, testing/certification, chasing and making good, waste, and VAT. If any of those are missing, the total is not comparable with a complete quote.
Is a cheaper rewiring quote a better deal?
Only if it covers the same work. A lower price that excludes the consumer unit, making good or certification is a different job, not a saving.
Can I compare an existing electrician quote on FairerQuote?
Yes. Posting is free for customers. Original documents and contact details stay private. Local electricians can then offer against the same scope, with labour and materials shown separately.
How much does a roof repair cost in the UK?
Published 2026 guidance often puts pitched-roof repair around £110–£160 per m². Small local repairs are frequently priced as a complete job. Scaffolding, access and hidden damage can move the total more than the visible leak.
Why do roofing quotes vary so much?
Because the scope varies. One roofer may price a handful of tiles; another allows for felt, battens, scaffolding and waste. Compare the written work, not only the headline.
Can I get other roofers’ quotes against my existing quote?
Yes. FairerQuote lets you post the job and current price for free. Suitable local roofing businesses can offer on the same scope, with labour and materials shown separately.
How do I compare roofers’ quotes fairly?
Put the same written scope in front of each business: area, materials, scaffolding, waste, VAT and extras. FairerQuote is designed to do that without sharing your phone number on the public listing.
Is it free to post a roofing quote?
Yes. Customers post free. Businesses only pay a small success fee if they later win and confirm a job, and the first confirmed win is free.
How much is a plumbing quote in the UK?
Hourly guidance is often £40–£80, with a higher call-out for the first hour. Fixture replacements and leak tracing are usually quoted as a job once the fault is known. Compare what is included, not only the total.
Can I get another plumber to quote against my existing price?
Yes. Post the job free on FairerQuote. Suitable plumbing businesses can offer against the same scope with labour and materials shown separately.
How do I compare painting and decorating quotes?
Match rooms, surfaces, coats, prep and who buys the paint. Then compare labour. FairerQuote asks businesses to show labour and materials separately so that is visible.
Is it free to post a decorating quote?
Yes for customers. There is no obligation to accept an offer.
