Builder questions, answered
How are London Builders verified by London Trade Registry?+
Every builder on the platform passes our vetting process, which includes identity and company verification, certification review where the trade is regulated, insurance validation and the LTR Master Test. "Verified" means these checks were completed at registration — it is not a guarantee of workmanship, and you should still agree a fixed rate and scope before work begins.
What does it cost to hire a builder in London?+
You pay a £5 match fee (Single Match) or £10 (Up to 10 Quotes), refunded in full if we cannot assign a suitable pro within the advertised window. The trade's hourly or fixed rate is agreed upfront, before work starts.
How fast will I be assigned a builder?+
Most jobs are matched within 24 hours of the match fee being paid. Emergency and same-day priority can be selected when you post your job.
What areas of London do you cover for builder work?+
We cover all of Greater London, including North, South, East, West and Central London. Choose your area when posting a job and we assign a builder local to your postcode.
