It’s easy to find a quality local tradesperson.<\/p>\n

1. Create a job – it\u2019s free<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever you need doing around the house, we can connect you with the right tradesperson. With over 30 specialist trades, covering the whole of the UK, every job\u2019s covered. Just give us as much detail as possible so our tradespeople can get you an accurate quote.<\/p>\n

2. Get quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Up to 3 tradespeople can provide a quote, but on average you\u2019ll get 1-2. They pay a small fee to do this, at which point they get to see your contact details.<\/p>\n

3. Check ratings<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll get a link to each tradesperson\u2019s profile page where you can see their ratings and reviews. Only homeowners who have found their tradesperson through our site can leave ratings, so they\u2019re based on genuine experiences.<\/p>\n

Read more about how our ratings work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Pick a tradesperson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go through our homeowner checklist<\/a>, which explains how to review a tradesperson\u2019s qualifications, reputation and agree the work.<\/p>\n

5. Job done<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the work is complete, return to the site and rate your tradesperson based on quality of their work, reliability and value for money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rated People and TrustMark<\/h2>\n

We work with TrustMark to help connect you with expert tradespeople.<\/p>\n

The scheme is a quality stamp that\u2019s endorsed by government and helps give peace of mind about the tradespeople you choose. Find out more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not all of our tradespeople are registered with TrustMark, but those who are will have the TrustMark badge displayed on their profile page.<\/p>\n
