Repair quotes

For a repair at home or in a rental, the agent finds tradespeople, drafts enquiries and lines up the quotes side by side.

One-offHigh stakes

Paste this into your agent

I need quotes for this repair: [describe the job and the area]. Find four local firms with recent reviews and draft an enquiry to each describing the job, which I will approve before it goes out. When quotes come back, compare price, earliest start date, guarantee and what is included in one table. Do not book a visit, accept a quote, pay a deposit or share a tenant's name, number or access arrangements.

What the agent does

Find local firms with recent reviews
Draft an enquiry to each for your approval
Collect the quotes as they arrive
Compare them in a single table

Rules to add

Every enquiry to a new firm needs your approval first
No bookings, deposits or accepted quotes by the agent
Tenant details and access codes never go to a contractor

What you end up with: Comparable quotes in one table, with every commitment still yours to make.
