How it works

Three steps to a clearer picture.

Tell us who

We check official records

We bring public company, insolvency, trade and safety records together.

03

Get your report by email

A plain-English report with sources and date checked.

Sole traders can be checked too.

Sole traders aren't on Companies House. We still check trade registers and reviews, and your report says clearly what couldn't be checked.

Our guarantee

If we can't find your builder on any register, you pay nothing.
