Builders are the UK's most regulated-yet-inconsistent trade. MyApproved applies 4 mandatory checks to every the UK builder: government ID verification, £2M public liability insurance confirmation (checked annually), FMB or NHBC membership check where applicable, and customer reference screening from recent completed projects. Planning consent and building regulations compliance are discussed at quote stage - MyApproved builders do not skip building control notification.
