Before you compare quotes
Ask each shortlisted company to confirm the same scope and timeline. Avoid accepting quotes that omit waterproofing or waste removal; also avoid choosing tiles before checking substrate and floor deflection and ignoring extractor fan performance in windowless rooms.
| Quote check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Itemised scope | Shows whether labour, materials, waste, finishing and specialist trades are included. |
| Local availability | Prices vary by region: London and the South East are often 15-20% above the UK average, and lead times differ. |
| Proof and aftercare | Insurance, warranties and verified contact details reduce homeowner risk. |
