Terms of use

Who we are

Acceptance and changes

By using this site you accept these terms. We may update the site, its tools and these terms from time to time; the version on this page applies, and the "last reviewed" date shows when it last changed.

Information, not professional advice

Our guides, cost ranges and checkers are general information to orient you. They are not a survey, a diagnosis, a quote or legal advice, and they are not a substitute for a qualified professional who can inspect your specific property. Cost figures are indicative ranges drawn from published sources, not a price for your job. Always get written quotes from a suitable professional, and check any legal duties (for example around protected species, invasive plants, listed buildings or planning) before acting.

Advertising and affiliate links

This site is supported by advertising and, in some cases, affiliate links. Third parties may serve ads and set cookies as described in our cookie policy, and we may earn a commission if you buy or sign up through an affiliate link, at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our editorial content.

To the fullest extent permitted by law we are not liable for any loss arising from acting on it. Nothing in these terms limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
