Over the last few years Trustatrader.com has become one of the most trusted online directories for qualified trades people in the UK.
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.
TRUSTATRADER is the best place to find good reliable trades people. And now with Saftrade you can protect your money throughout the transaction. Let’s face it we all worry about handing over large amounts of cash for work before it’s been done and disputes are difficult to resolve if you’ve already paid out.
Saftrade overcomes all these risks by holding your money secure until the work has been completed and inspected. If it’s a big job like an extension you can set up the transaction in stages. Saftrade will only release the money when each stage has been completed in accordance with the contract.
Saftrade is also better for the contractor because it shows them that you have the money to pay when the work has been completed. It puts an end to time wasters, bad debts and the worry and delay of collecting payment. Once the work is done and after you have inspected it payment is made direct to the contractors account within 4 days – guaranteed!
Saftrade greatly reduces disputes and in the unlikely event that there is a disagreement Saftrade will conduct an unbiased assessment of the work using an independent and qualified professional.
