π‘ We've been working on something...
Over the past few weeks, we've been making some big improvements to Builders Exposed.
Not because we wanted a new look...
But because we wanted to make it quicker and easier for homeowners to research builders before spending thousands of pounds.
Whether you're planning a small repair or a major renovation, we believe checking a builder should be simple.
So here's what's changed...
π A faster builder search
Our new search makes it easier to look up a builder or company before you hire them.
π A redesigned homepage
You can now instantly see our Featured Cowboy Builders and the latest reports from homeowners across the UK.
π More detailed builder reports
Reports can now include contact details, phone numbers, email addresses and social media links, making it easier to identify the correct builder or business.
π New Homeowner Guides
We've added six free guides covering topics including:
βοΈ How to spot a cowboy builder
βοΈ Why you should never pay upfront
βοΈ Why everything should be in writing
βοΈ What to do if a builder doesn't turn up
βοΈ A builder hiring checklist ...and more.
β New FAQs
We've answered many of the questions homeowners ask us most, including: β’ What is a cowboy builder? β’ Is it legal to report a builder? β’ How do I check a builder? β’ What evidence should I keep?
π¨ Cowboy Alert websites
We've also introduced dedicated Cowboy Alert pagesβSEO-optimised pages designed to help people find factual, publicly shared information when researching a builder online.
One thing hasn't changed...
β
Searching is still 100% free
β
Reporting is still 100% free
β
Reports can still be shared anonymously
If you're about to hire a builder, take a few minutes to do your research first.
And if you've had an experience that could help others make a more informed decision, you can share an honest, factual account for free.
