Finding a Trade Professional
How does the trade matching service work?
You submit a request describing your job, location and requirements. Our team reviews the request and works to connect you with a suitable trade professional. We'll be in touch once we've identified a good match.
What trades can you help with?
We can help with plumbing, heating and boiler work, gas, electrical, building, property maintenance and emergency trade work. See our Find a Trade Professional page for the full list.
Are the trade professionals vetted?
We work to connect customers with suitable professionals, but customers should always verify qualifications and insurance directly with the tradesperson before instructing any work. Gas engineers must be Gas Safe registered and electricians carrying out notifiable work must be registered with an approved Part P scheme.
