Premium SERVICE. Premium PRICING.

Posting is free. The work is QUOTED by experienced trades, nothing is hidden. Every detail is clear to see.

The checks

Every trade CHECKED before they quote.

Identity, business and trading history, work eligibility, client references and liability insurance cover are fully reviewed before a member can quote.

Identity and right to work

Photo ID, a biometric match and work eligibility are reviewed.

Identity verified

Business and trading details

Company, tax and trading records are checked against the application.

Company checked

Insurance cover and expiry

Cover, expiry and three client references are reviewed; renewal is chased before cover lapses.

Insurance in date

Your account, confirmed once

Your name and email with your card and billing details are confirmed before you connect, so the trades know who’s behind the enquiry.

YOU choose who you speak to.

  1. POST once

    Describe the work once and tick every trade it requires.

  2. YOU choose

    View the trades’ profiles and choose with confidence.

  3. COMPARE line by line

    Every quote prices the same stages in the same format.

  4. SIGN OFF, then pay

    The contract comes from the quote. You pay each stage after approving it.

Every stage. Clearly DEFINED.

No hidden stages. Nothing is left out.

  • Every quote details the same stages, clearly and easily.
  • Who supplies at each stage is in writing: you or the trade, everything listed and noted.
  • The contract is made from the quote you accept. Nothing is missed, forgotten or misunderstood.
