Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free?
Yes, 100%. We make money from partner services like trade insurance providers and tool suppliers. They pay us for referrals. You never pay. Not now, not ever.
How do you make money?
We partner with trade insurance providers, tool suppliers, and other services that tradespeople already use. They pay us for referrals. Tradespeople and homeowners never pay anything.
How is this different from Checkatrade?
Checkatrade charges tradespeople monthly subscriptions and per-lead fees. Those costs get passed on to homeowners through higher quotes. Tradesfolk removes that friction entirely. Everyone uses it for free.
Can I use this outside the UK?
Yes. The platform works globally, though we are starting in the UK. You are welcome to sign up wherever you are.
How do reviews work?
Only homeowners who have contacted a tradesperson through Tradesfolk can leave a review. This means every review comes from a genuine interaction. No fake reviews, no paid-for testimonials.
What qualifications can I display?
Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT, FGAS, City and Guilds, NVQ, CSCS, and more. We are always adding new qualification types. If yours is not listed, let us know.
