Why you can rely on it
Real prices and honest quantities
We'd rather tell you a price is missing than show you a made-up one.
Live prices, refreshed every weekday
Prices come straight from the Travis Perkins product feed and update every weekday morning. If something looks wrong, the update is held back rather than published.
Quantities based on manufacturer guidance
Coverage figures follow published guidance from manufacturers such as British Gypsum, Knauf and Dulux, plus a sensible allowance for waste. Each project shows exactly how it's worked out.
Free, with no sign-up
There's no account to create. Your shopping lists stay on your own device, and you can clear them whenever you like.
Clear about missing prices
Where we don't have a live price yet, we say "Check price" and link you to the supplier instead of guessing. Those items are never added to your total.
Where the prices come from
Live prices from Travis Perkins today, across 20,000+ products. More suppliers are joining soon, and they'll be added to the one stop shop and cheapest overall comparisons as their price feeds go live.
Until then, each material has quick "Check price" links for Screwfix, Toolstation, Wickes, B&Q, Jewson, MKM, Selco, Buildbase and JT Dove.

Is SmartBuild really free?
Yes. There's nothing to pay and no account to create. Some links to suppliers are affiliate links, so SmartBuild may earn a small commission if you buy. That never changes the price you pay.
Where do the prices come from?
Live prices come from the Travis Perkins product feed and are refreshed every weekday. Prices from other suppliers aren't live yet, so for those we show "Check price" with a link to their website instead of a number.
How are the quantities worked out?
Each calculator uses published coverage figures from manufacturers such as British Gypsum, Knauf and Dulux, standard UK sizes and spacings, and a small allowance for cuts and waste. Open "How we work it out" on any project to see the details.
Do I buy through SmartBuild?
No. SmartBuild helps you plan and price the job. When you're ready, the buy buttons open the supplier's own website, where you check stock and delivery and pay them directly. You can also email the list to yourself.
What's the difference between one stop shop and cheapest overall?
One stop shop totals your list from a single supplier, so you make one order or one trip. Cheapest overall picks the lowest live price for each item, even if that means more than one supplier. While Travis Perkins is the only live supplier, both totals come out the same.
