Independent verdicts for the trades that keep Britain running

The Builder's Verdict researches and judges the things UK trade businesses pay for, and increasingly the numbers behind running the business itself. Coverage started with job management software and now includes UK trade rates and pricing, plus a growing Business pillar covering tax, admin and the systems side of the job; call handling, lead platforms, suppliers and personal financial decisions open up as the evidence is ready. Every verdict states its evidence level, carries a named author, shows verified UK pricing with the date we checked it, and links its sources.

We'd rather publish three honest verdicts than thirty thin ones. Categories open when the evidence is ready. The current coverage and what's in research are on the reviews hub.

The site makes money from clearly labelled placements and (in future) affiliate links, never from selling verdicts. The rule is public and absolute: paid visibility can't buy the verdict. The methodology, evidence labels and correction process are all published: how we test, affiliate disclosure, corrections.
