About Instantcost

Instantcost was built by homeowners, for homeowners. We saw too many people overpay — or be quoted wildly different prices — for everyday services like cleaning, renovation, carpet care and plumbing, and we wanted to fix that.

Our calculators are powered by data we collect from public quotes, trade body benchmarks, and ongoing research with UK service providers. Every price guide is reviewed and updated regularly so the figures you see reflect the current UK market.

We are an independent platform. We don't take commissions for steering you toward any particular provider. When you request a quote, we connect you with vetted local professionals — and the choice is always yours.
