How we handle prices

  • Each figure comes from a published cost guide, with a link, the source's own update date where shown, and the date we checked it.
  • We only show local price ranges for a job once we have at least 10 real shop quotes for it in that area from the last 12 months. No job meets that yet.
  • When you're ready, tell us about the job and compare quotes from local shops. See how it works and how we pick shops.
