An installer in a hard hat fixing a solar panel with a drill

The installer match

Seven checks for every installer, then one name.

We don’t install. We choose who does. Every installer we introduce holds all seven of our checks, and from those who cover your postcode we weigh price, accreditation and recent reviews, then introduce one.

Why independent

Independent, so the only job is choosing well.

By the time an installer is introduced, your roof has been measured, the system sized and a price range drawn from the market. The installer’s job is to fit it well. Ours is to make sure they are the right one to do it, and to stay on the job until it is signed off.

The bar is the same everywhere: we work nationwide. A great price from an installer who misses one of the seven is still a no.

How one name is chosen

The match

How one name is chosen.

Every enquiry narrows the same way, and only one installer comes through it.

  1. Who covers your postcode

    We start with the installers who work where you live.

  2. Who holds all seven

    Anyone who misses a check drops out here.

  3. Price for your roof

    We weigh what each would charge for your roof, set against what the same system costs elsewhere.

  4. Accreditation and recent reviews

    We weigh their accreditation and their recent reviews, read on the independent platforms themselves.

  5. One introduction

    The installer who comes through is the one we introduce, their quote already checked. Your details don’t go to a list.

One name

One name, not a bidding war.

What you get

  • One installer, introduced by name
  • Their quote, already checked against the market
  • The survey notes and photos, so nobody asks twice
  • Us, on the job until sign-off

What you don’t

  • Your details passed to five sales teams
  • Three quotes that don’t agree
  • An installer marking their own homework
  • Anything to sign on the survey day

How we read a quote

One job file

One file for every roof.

We, your surveyor and your installer work from the same file: the roof we read from above, the survey notes and photos, the checked quote and the sign-off paperwork. Nobody asks you the same question twice.

The installer match · questions

Asked about the match.

01Why one installer, not three quotes?

Three quotes that don’t agree leave you doing the comparing. We do it before the introduction: the installer is checked against all seven, the quote is set against the market, and you meet one name.

02Will you tell me how the installer was checked?

Yes. Every installer we introduce clears all seven checks, and we tell you how each one was checked.

03What if no installer near me clears all seven?

Then we won’t introduce one. The bar is the same everywhere, whatever the postcode.

04Can an installer join the network?

Yes, if they clear all seven. Installers anywhere in Great Britain can apply to the network, and we’ll put their name forward.

Our estimate is free. If you proceed to survey, our partner installer invoices you directly; we receive a referral fee from them, never from you, and it never affects which installer we introduce.
