What we cover
Refurbishment services, matched to specialists
Whatever you're planning, we match you with local firms who genuinely do that type of work — not generalists who dabble. Below is what our panel covers across London and the UK.
Bathrooms & wet rooms
New suites, walk-in showers, wet rooms and en-suites. Tiling, plumbing, tanking and lighting.
Extensions
Single, double and side-return extensions with steels, glazing and roofing. Design & build teams.
Loft conversions
Dormer, hip-to-gable and Velux loft conversions with insulation, staircase and en-suite options.
Whole-house refurbs
End-to-end refurbishment: replastering, rewiring, replumbing, décor and finish — one main contractor.
Exterior & roofing
Roofing, rendering, brickwork, fascias, guttering and front-of-house restoration.

Real people, on site
A proper visit. A written quote. Zero pressure.
The partner turns up on the day and time we agree. They measure, listen to what you want, answer your questions and then send a written quote — usually within a few days. You are never under any obligation to accept.

- ✓ Written itemised quote — no verbal handshakes
- ✓ We check in after to make sure it went well
How we vet partners
Why the companies we send are actually good
The UK refurb market is full of chancers. Our panel isn't a directory anyone can pay to join — every partner passes six checks before we ever send them to your door, and stays on the panel only if they keep delivering.
CHECK 01
Insurance verified
Every partner holds current Public Liability cover — we see the certificate before they join.
CHECK 02
Trade memberships
FMB, TrustMark, Gas Safe and NICEIC where the work requires it. No memberships bought online.
CHECK 03
Company & finance check
Companies House record, trading history, VAT status and financial standing checked.
CHECK 04
References & past work
Recent homeowner references and a portfolio of finished projects — not just glossy renders.
CHECK 05
Conduct & feedback loop
We follow up after every survey. Complaints, no-shows or pushy behaviour = removed from the panel.
CHECK 06
Single point of contact
You deal with us. We manage the partner, so if anything goes sideways, one call sorts it.
About Find a Local
A simpler way to line up a proper refurbishment quote.
We're a UK-wide referral service for homeowners planning real refurbishment work — kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, lofts and whole-house projects. You tell us what you're planning. We match you with a vetted local specialist. They visit, listen, and send a written quote. That's it.
We don't send builders ourselves and we don't quote on the job. Our role is to save you the weeks of chasing, ghosting and unreturned calls that usually go with hiring a builder in the UK.
OUR MISSION
Get homeowners to a trustworthy quote — fast.
Refurbishing your home shouldn't start with three weeks of unanswered WhatsApps. We aim to get you a confirmed on-site visit with a qualified local firm inside a few days, not a month.
WHY LOCAL MATTERS
Someone who knows your street, not someone 40 miles away.
National directories fire your details at anyone who'll pay for the lead. For serious refurb work that doesn't fly. We route your job to a specialist who works your area and has done the type of project you're planning before.
WHY US
One matched partner. No lead-selling.
We don't sell your details to five firms at once. Each enquiry goes to one vetted partner at a time, so you get a proper conversation — not a week of cold calls from strangers.
HOW WE'RE PAID
Free for you. Partners pay us.
Using Find a Local costs you nothing. Our vetted partners pay a small fee to receive booked appointments. It doesn't affect the price you're quoted — every partner sets their own pricing independently. We think you should know how it works.
Why homeowners pick us
Only we contact you
Your number isn't sold or shared. We're the single point of contact — no cold calls from random firms.
You choose how many
Pick 1, 2 or 3 surveys. We won't shove more companies at you than you asked for.
Top local partners
We already work with the best-rated refurb companies in your area. You get matched to the right one for your job.
Booked in writing
We agree the day and time with you, then book the partners in. They show up to quote — no chasing.
Free for homeowners
You never pay a penny. The companies pay us for the introduction.
Vetted properly
Insurance, trade memberships and references checked before any company joins our panel.
What homeowners say
"Saved me weeks of chasing builders. Three came round, all proper firms, picked one within a fortnight."
"I'd had 4 no-shows from other sites. Find a Local actually booked the surveys in writing. Night and day."
"The companies they sent were clearly vetted — no chancers."
