RepairCostPilot uses transparent author and editorial-team profiles. We do not invent trade licences, professional qualifications or hands-on experience that a contributor does not actually have.

RepairCostPilot Editorial Team

The editorial team prepares homeowner planning guides, calculator explanations, update notes and page structure. Content is written to help readers define project scope, understand assumptions and prepare better questions before contacting a local professional.

How author bylines should work

  • Name the person or editorial team responsible for the page
  • List qualifications only when they can be verified
  • Separate writing/editing roles from technical professional review
  • Avoid implying that an editor inspected a reader’s property
  • Update the byline or review note when responsibility materially changes

Technical review

When a subject requires specialist judgement—such as structural, gas, electrical or regulated work—articles should rely on authoritative sources and, where available, qualified review. A reviewer’s exact role should be described rather than implied.

Source transparency

Time-sensitive figures, regulations, grants, tariffs and product specifications should link to current primary or authoritative sources where practical. Calculators should explain their formulas and defaults.
