We know how frustrating it is to have to use a trader directly out of the paper or a directory without getting recommendations first. But if an emergency occurs, say in the middle of the night or at the weekend, then you simply have no choice in the matter.

If the work isn't carried out to your satisfaction, the whole experience can leave a bitter taste in your mouth, not to mention a hole in your pocket.

But wouldn’t it be great if there was a website that could put you in touch with local, reliable tradesmen whose work had been fully checked out; a website that was as good as a personal recommendation? That’s what we thought too. So, we made it our mission to create the web's most trusted online directory when looking for tradesmen – not just for emergency ‘out of hours’ jobs but for any job, any time the day.

Stacking the odds in your favour

Unlike other online directories that simply list names and numbers, Trustatrader.com offers consumers a unique free service:

Our 'leave feedback' facility allows you, the consumer, to rate the work of the tradesman you’ve used. This together with the fact that we vet our tradesmen to ensure that they have a minimum of two year's experience in their field and are members of the relevant trade association makes us the safest bet on the net when searching for a trader.
