Tradesfolk

Tradesfolk is a UK online directory that connects homeowners with local tradespeople, including plumbers, electricians and builders. The service is free for both customers and professionals, with no subscriptions, lead fees or commission. Homeowners can search by trade and postcode, browse profiles featuring work galleries, reviews and qualifications, and contact tradespeople directly through secure messaging or by phone. They can also post a job and let local professionals respond. Tradesfolk notes that local choices may be limited as the platform grows, and that replies or quotes are not guaranteed.

For tradespeople, the platform offers free profile creation, local search visibility, job alerts and tools to build a reputation through customer reviews. Additional resources help users plan and understand home projects, including cost estimates, average trade prices, city comparisons, planning-permission checks and guides to common home problems. Homeowners can also use Snap and Fix to upload a photo for a diagnosis, explore a live map, or ask a tradesperson for advice.
