We don't take payment from builders to be listed, ranked or hidden. Search My Builder has no advertising relationships with the companies it scores, which means a result is the same whether the builder is paying anyone or not.
About Search My Builder

What we do
One search. Hundreds of checks. One simple score.
From a single search box, we look up the builder on Companies House, court (CCJ) records, HMRC's VAT list, the Gas Safe Register, FMB, TrustMark, NHBC and dozens more — plus reviews on Google, Trustpilot and Checkatrade. Every score is built from information that's already public, and we show you where each bit came from.
Evidence-led
Every score is built from public, verifiable data — Companies House filings, regulatory registers, trade body directories, review platforms and more. Where a signal is uncertain, we say so rather than dressing it up.
Built for homeowners
Most builder vetting tooling is sold to insurers and surveyors. Search My Builder is the opposite — designed for the person about to sign a contract for the largest non-mortgage purchase of their life.
Why now
Because there isn't a licence behind the badge
In the UK, anyone can call themselves a builder. There is no national register, no required qualification, and no central enforcement. The information that would tell you whether a particular company is reliable does exist — but it's spread across dozens of websites, regulators and registers most homeowners have never heard of. Search My Builder's job is to find it for you, weigh it, and put the answer in front of you before you sign anything.
