Disclaimer

Applicable Region: United Kingdom • Last Updated:

Last Updated: September 2026

Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using TradesGuide.co.uk (“the Website”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

By accessing this Website, browsing our trade cost guides, or submitting quote request forms, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms outlined below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website immediately.

1. Directory and Referral Matching Role Only

TradesGuide.co.uk operates exclusively as an independent digital publisher, price benchmark directory, and quote referral service.

  • Not a Contractor: TradesGuide.co.uk is not a building contractor, surveyor, installer, or tradesperson. We do not provide architectural, structural, or physical building services.
  • No Employment Relationship: We do not employ, supervise, manage, or control the independent tradespeople, survey companies, or third-party quotation networks to whom inquiries are routed.
  • Independent Third Parties: Any professional contract, agreement, warranty, or financial arrangement entered into is solely between you (the homeowner/consumer) and your chosen trade specialist.

2. Accuracy of Cost Guides and Pricing Benchmarks

All pricing information, duration estimates, daily labor rates, and cost ranges published on this Website are for general informational and budgeting guidance only:

  • Estimates, Not Quotations: Published figures reflect researched regional averages, historical market estimates, and industry guidelines. They do not constitute a formal, binding price quote or offer of service.
  • Site-Specific Variations: Building, roofing, and insulation extraction costs vary substantially based on property accessibility, structural integrity, hazard classifications, waste disposal regulations, and market fluctuations.
  • Mandatory On-Site Surveys: You must obtain a formal, written quotation following an on-site survey by an insured professional before committing to any trade work.

3. No Guarantee of Contractor Credentials or Workmanship

While we partner with reputable referral networks and strive to connect users with qualified trades:

  • Consumer Due Diligence: We do not warrant, endorse, or guarantee the competency, accreditation, regulatory compliance, or financial stability of any matched contractor.
  • Verification Responsibility: Homeowners retain sole responsibility for checking all credentials, including:
    • Public liability insurance and professional indemnity coverage.
    • Trade affiliations and trade-specific certifications (e.g., PCA, RICS, Gas Safe, TrustMark, or competent person schemes).
    • Waste carrier licensing for hazardous or controlled construction materials.
    • Written contracts, scope-of-work specifications, and warranty terms.

4. Mortgage, Equity Release, and Structural Decisions

Certain specialized services featured on this site—including spray foam removal, roof alterations, and timber damp treatments—frequently involve lender requirements or equity release compliance.

  • No Financial or Lending Advice: Content on this site does not constitute financial, legal, mortgage, or chartered surveying advice.
  • Lender Variation: Lending criteria vary between financial institutions and adjust frequently. Removing spray foam or commissioning timber surveys does not guarantee mortgage approval, survey clearance, or loan retention release. You must consult directly with your mortgage broker, lender, or an independent RICS chartered surveyor.

5. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law in England and Wales:

  • Exclusion of Damages: TradesGuide.co.uk, its owners, directors, employees, and affiliates accept no liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:
    • Any contract, transaction, or dispute between you and a contractor.
    • Faulty workmanship, structural damage, delays, or failure to complete works.
    • Personal injury or property damage occurring during on-site trade visits.
    • Reliance on any cost benchmarks, editorial guides, or timeline estimates.
  • Indemnity: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TradesGuide.co.uk against any claims, losses, liabilities, legal fees, or expenses resulting from your engagement with third-party service providers introduced through this platform.

6. External Links Disclaimer

This Website contains links to external websites and resources operated by third parties. We have no control over the content, availability, or privacy practices of external platforms and accept no responsibility for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.
