General information only. Bricktrust does not sell property, investments or residency schemes, and does not act as an agent.
- Ranges, not sales prices
- Every cost guide shows a range and says whether it has been checked against current UK sources, and when.
- Your details go where you send them
- If you ask for quotes, we pass your enquiry only to the providers it is for, with your consent.
- Not an agent, lender or insurer
- We don't sell property, arrange mortgages or quote insurance. Sponsored placements are always labelled.
Is Bricktrust free to use?
Yes. Guides are free to read. We are funded by advertising and by providers who pay for introductions when you ask for quotes.
Where do the cost figures come from?
They are compiled from UK trade rates and published industry data and shown as ranges. Each guide states whether its figures have been checked and when.
What happens when I ask for quotes?
Your enquiry goes to a small number of local providers for that job, who contact you directly. There is no obligation and you choose who to hire.
Do you do the work, sell homes or arrange finance?
No. Bricktrust is an independent information site. We don't carry out work, act as an estate agent or arrange mortgages, loans or insurance.
Reach owners while they are deciding.
