Confidence
qualitybuilds.co.uk operates as a local builder serving Southport and Formby. The domain is 839 days old and registered through Fasthosts with privacy protection. Our research confirmed QUALITY BUILDS NW LTD (company 16435719) is active on Companies House with a registered office matching the website's listed address: Unit 8 Stephenson Way, Formby Business Park, L37 8EG. Contact details (phone, email, address) are consistent across the site and business records. The page content describes legitimate construction services — extensions, loft conversions, renovations — with no scam-family triggers or credential-harvest patterns. One antivirus engine flagged the domain, but this is a statistical outlier among 96 engines; the hosting IP has zero abuse reports, SSL is valid, and browser blocklists are clean. Web searches found no scam reports, complaints, or negative mentions. The absence of customer reviews is typical for a small local builder without a strong online presence.

Page Content

The site presents as a professional builder's storefront with service descriptions for home extensions, loft conversions, kitchen/bathroom renovations, and new builds in the Merseyside area. The page includes a gallery section, contact form, terms & conditions (dated January 2026), and standard builder marketing copy. No login forms, countdown timers, or credential-harvest patterns detected.

Infrastructure

Domain registered 839 days ago via Fasthosts Internet Ltd with privacy protection enabled. Hosting IP 191.96.144.32 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (R12) is valid with 30 days to expiry. One antivirus engine (Bfore.Ai PreCrime) flagged the domain as malicious; this is a single outlier among 96 engines and does not align with other reputation signals. Browser blocklists are clean.

Domain History

The domain is nearly 2.3 years old, ruling out the ephemeral registration pattern typical of scam sites. WHOIS privacy is enabled, which is common for small businesses but does not indicate malice.

Risk Factors
3
  • One antivirus engine flagged the domain; however, this is a statistical outlier among 96 engines and does not correlate with other reputation signals.
  • Domain does not appear in global traffic indexes, suggesting limited online visibility — typical for a small local builder.
  • No customer reviews or ratings found on major review platforms; absence of feedback is expected for a low-traffic local business.
Positive Signals
5
  • Active company registration on Companies House (QUALITY BUILDS NW LTD, 16435719) with address matching the website.
  • Domain is 839 days old, ruling out the short-lived registration pattern of scam sites.

AI Recommendation

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on qualitybuilds.co.uk and not a lookalike like q-ualitybuilds.co.uk.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
