Sample report
Most traders are honest — and a clean result lets you pay with confidence. Every report ends in one clear verdict, never a vague score:
What we'd check on Rh Revamps ltd
Every check in your report is grounded in public records and official registers. We tell you exactly what we looked at, what we found, and — where we couldn't check something — we tell you that too, and what to ask instead.
Companies House API · Free · Public
For registered businesses, we pull the full public record — company status, how long they've been registered, director names, registered address, and whether their accounts are filed on time. A company that dissolved twice and reappeared last month looks very different from one that has filed consistently since 2017.
Official registers · Builder-specific
For builder work, we check the registers that apply. Some are mandatory — operating without them is illegal. Others are voluntary but worth verifying. A certificate handed to you at the door proves nothing; only the live register does.
Quote analysis · LLM-powered
Upload the quote you've been sent — PDF, photo, or paste the text. We scan it against the patterns that appear in real fraud prosecutions: missing company numbers, vague scope, large upfront deposits with no milestone schedule, no completion date, cash-only payment terms.
Google · Checkatrade · TrustATrader
We search Google Business, Trustpilot, Checkatrade, and TrustATrader. We also check for review clustering — a pattern where most reviews arrive in a short window, which can indicate managed rather than organic feedback.
We also check the domain — how old it is, whether it resolves, and whether it was registered recently before a large job.
Common questions
The fastest way is to check Companies House (if they're a registered company), confirm they appear on the relevant trade registers — for a builder, that means checking FMB (Federation of Master Builders) and TrustMark — and look at their Google and Checkatrade reviews. Before You Pay runs all of these checks in one go and delivers a single verdict. It costs £5 and takes under a minute to run.
We check FMB (Federation of Master Builders) as part of every builder report — directly against the live register, not from a certificate the trader hands you. A certificate proves nothing; only the live register record does. Run a £5 check and we'll tell you exactly what we found.
A deposit is standard practice — but the size, terms, and what the quote says matters. The warning signs are: deposits above 30–40% with no milestone schedule, no start or completion date, no company number on the quote, and cash-only payment requests. Before You Pay scans your quote for all of these and tells you exactly what to ask before you hand over any money.
The most common patterns are: a company name that doesn't match Companies House records, a large upfront payment with nothing in writing, no verifiable address or business number, pressure to pay quickly before other customers "take the slot", and recently created websites or phone numbers. Our quote scan checks for all of these automatically.
Many good builders operate as sole traders — that's entirely normal and legal. We check the signals that still apply: trade-register status, domain age, contact history, and review profiles. If something genuinely can't be verified, we say so plainly and give you the exact questions to ask before paying.
