Compare traders side by side

Start with Trust Score and company status, then compare reviews and the public evidence that matters for the job.

Got quotes? Start from the names

Enter the business names from your quotes. Pick each match, and we line them up side by side on the public evidence.

Pick a match for at least two quotes to line them up.

Weigh two or three traders together, not one at a time.

Compare puts each trader's Trust Score, company status, reviews, relevant public evidence and contact options side by side, so you can judge your shortlist without flipping between profiles.

Trust overview

Start with the same Trust Score

Use the Trust Score as the first like-for-like view of the public evidence held for each trader; use rating and review volume as supporting detail.

Company status

Check whether the business can trade

An adverse public company status is a warning. A missing register match can simply mean the business is not an incorporated company.

Evidence for the job

Compare what matters for this work

For urgent work, weigh response and availability evidence. For a considered project, weigh relevant work history, credentials, planning or permit evidence where it applies.

Hiring action

Move from comparison to project

When the options that suit the job can receive quote requests, keep those requests, the evidence and the final hiring decision together in one project.

Check what matters before comparing price.

Price matters, but it is only one part of the decision. Compare the public evidence relevant to this job, then confirm any terms or checks that are not shown.

  • Start with Trust Score and company status, then use rating with its review volume and recency.
  • Look for corroboration across named independent public sources; the useful sources vary by trade and location.
  • Missing evidence means it is not shown here, not that the business automatically failed a check.
  • Confirm credentials, insurance, availability and guarantees directly when they matter for the job.
  • Keep quote scope, price, deposit and timing together before making the final decision.
