Do your due diligence.

Use Our “Check A Builder”-Do Your Due Diligence
Why Checking Matters
Rogue builders rely on homeowners who don’t ask questions.
They hide behind fake names, unregistered companies, and smooth talk.
A few minutes of checking could save you thousands and months of stress.
You wouldn’t buy a car without an MOT — so why start a build without verifying your builder?
How “Check A Builder” Protects You
✅ Verified Details – See if the builder’s business name, address, and registration are genuine.
✅ Insurance & Compliance Checks – Confirm they’re properly insured and meeting UK construction standards.
✅ Customer Feedback – Read real reviews from real clients, not made-up testimonials.
✅ Red Flag Alerts – Get warned if the company has complaints, expired credentials, or suspicious activity.
✅ Peace of Mind – Know exactly who you’re dealing with before work begins.
The Risks of Skipping Due Diligence
🚩 Fake companies that vanish after taking deposits
🚩 Builders trading under multiple names to dodge bad reviews
🚩 Uninsured contractors leaving you liable when things go wrong
🚩 No Building Control compliance or safety record
Rogue builders are experts at pretending to be legitimate — until the moment they disappear.
How to Check Properly
Search their name on Check A Builder
Verify their address, insurance, and registration numbers
Look for consistency — if details don’t match, they’re hiding something
Get everything in writing — never trust a verbal promise
It takes five minutes to check — and can save you from years of regret.
Bottom Line
Every scam story starts the same way: “They seemed genuine.”
Don’t guess — check.
Check their name.
Check their insurance.
Check their history.
Because if a builder doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, they shouldn’t be standing on your property.
Use Check A Builder — and stay one step ahead of the scammers.
