About ServicePriceHub.uk

Our Mission

Every year, millions of UK homeowners and tenants are overcharged for trade work because they don’t know what a fair price looks like. A plumber who charges £300 for a job in Manchester may charge £450 for the same job in London — and both prices may be entirely reasonable, or wildly inflated.

ServicePriceHub.uk exists to close that information gap. We provide city-specific, up-to-date price guides for every major trade and service, so you can walk into any quote knowing exactly what to expect.

How Our Prices Are Researched

Every price guide on ServicePriceHub.uk is based on a structured research methodology combining multiple independent sources:

• Published rates from national and regional trade associations (Gas Safe Register, NICEIC, NHBC)
• Publicly available quotes from vetted tradespeople on major UK platforms
• Regional cost-of-living index data to adjust prices city by city
• Periodic manual review against current market conditions

Our Editorial Policy

We hold our pricing content to a clear editorial standard so you can rely on it:

• Independence: our price ranges are never influenced by advertisers, tradespeople, or lead-generation partners. We do not accept payment to raise or lower a published figure.
• Multiple sources: no figure rests on a single quote. Each range aggregates trade-association guidance, published platform pricing (Checkatrade, Rated People), and official data (ONS, BCIS) — cross-checked against consumer research from Which? Trusted Traders and TrustMark.
• Regional adjustment: every city price is derived from a national baseline adjusted by a documented local cost index, not guessed per city.
• Review cadence: price data is reviewed at least every six months, and sooner where a trade is affected by a material change such as energy costs, regulation, or a new government scheme. Each guide shows the month its data was last verified.
• Corrections: if you believe a figure is inaccurate, contact us and we will review it against current evidence and update where warranted.
