What this site does
When a homeowner in Dorking or one of the surrounding towns and villages submits an enquiry, it's passed to a local installer who covers that area. From there, the installer reaches out to the homeowner directly, and everything from that point on, design, spec, price, is worked out between the two of them, not via this site.
How this site is funded
There's no charge to homeowners for using the site. Instead, it's kept running by a referral fee a participating installer may pay once an enquiry is passed their way.
Why use a referral site
Rather than searching for and contacting several installers individually, homeowners can submit one enquiry and have it matched to a local installer covering their specific town or village. Getting a second written quote before committing to anyone is still a sensible step.
