You know the feeling. Your boiler packs in, the roof starts leaking, or it’s finally time to sort out that bathroom. You ask for a few quotes… and then you’re left wondering:
“Is this price normal? Am I being ripped off? How does anyone know what this stuff should cost?”
The truth is, you’re not alone. Figuring out what things really cost has always been a guessing game. You either take a gamble or spend hours calling around, and even then, you're still unsure.
Why We Built This
The problem’s simple: prices for everyday jobs are hidden and there’s no easy way to check what’s fair and what isn’t.
Sometimes people get overcharged. Other times, chasing a cheap quote backfires when the job’s rushed or corners are cut. Either way, not knowing the going rate puts everyone at a disadvantage.
How Three Quotes Works
We’re changing that. Three Quotes is a community-driven website where people share the actual prices they’ve paid for jobs across the UK. No made-up estimates. No averages pulled out of thin air. Just real numbers from real people.
It’s simple:
- Look up prices – See what others paid for similar work in your area.
- Share a quote – Got a quote or finished job? Share it (anonymously) and help the next person.
Who Benefits?
- ✅ Homeowners – Make smarter decisions, compare quotes properly, and avoid overpaying.
- ✅ Honest tradespeople – Fair pricing helps the good ones stand out from the cowboys.
- ✅ Everyone – More transparency means better outcomes for everyone involved.
What’s Already on the Site?
Every day, people are adding quotes for things like:
- Boiler installations
- Garden landscaping
- Heat pumps
- Roof work
- New (expensive!) bathrooms
- Vet bills (yes, even that!)
You can filter by location, job type, and more — because prices in London aren’t the same as prices in Leeds.
Why It Matters
This is long overdue. Getting work done on your home shouldn’t be a guessing game. You should be able to check what’s fair, just like you can with hotels, flights, or doing your shopping.
The more people share, the more useful the site becomes. Every quote helps someone else make a better-informed decision.

Where We’re Headed
We’re just getting started. The bigger this database grows, the more accurate and helpful it’ll be.
Over time, we’ll show:
- Price trends
- Regional differences
- The best times of year for certain jobs
The goal? Make it easier for everyone to understand what’s fair — no matter the job.
