Our AI applies a Birmingham-specific regional multiplier to base UK trade rates. The estimate range we show already reflects local pricing — you're not getting an inflated London estimate or an unrealistically low rural rate.
The AI estimate is indicative based on photos only. If the trade discovers hidden damage on-site (rotted timber behind tiles, corroded pipework inside walls, etc.), they will quote separately for the additional work. You decide whether to proceed.
Yes. Every Birmingham tradesperson on the platform has passed our verification — ID check, public liability insurance with minimum £2,000,000 cover, and trade-specific certifications where applicable (Gas Safe for gas, NICEIC/NAPIT or SELECT for notifiable electrical work, F-Gas for refrigeration, etc.).
No. The £4.99 fee covers our AI processing, human admin review, and PDF generation — it isn't a deposit or commission on the actual work. Membership at £89 for 5 years removes per-estimate fees if you'll use it across 3 properties.
