Unlike directories or word-of-mouth where you are subject to the tradesperson you contact’s availability, Tradesmen Booking tradespeople view your job and request your details only if they are interested and available to carry out the work.

To keep the market competitive and protect your personal information, a maximum of 3 tradespeople can view your name and contact details. So all you have to do is post your job and the tradespeople will come to you.

Our tradespeople review hundreds of job postings every day. Paying to feature your post will have it highlighted in orange and marked as a ‘Featured Posting’ when our tradespeople view it. This helps show tradespeople you’re serious about getting the work done and helps your job stand out so that you get better responses.

All jobs start off as a free posting. After you post your job, you can upgrade to a featured post by updating your job details. Select ‘Feature posting £3.99’ and click the ‘Update your job posting’ button to pay with our partner PayPal. After your payment has been taken and confirmed, your job will become highlighted as a featured post in our job listings.

To feature your posting and have it highlighted in our job listings costs Rs. 1000 (incl. VAT). Payment is taken via our payment partner, PayPal.

After a tradesperson expresses interest in your job and pays to see your contact details, we send you their details and a link to their profile page and ratings.

You should visit the profile of each tradesperson we send you and review their qualifications, past work and, of course, reviews from other Tradesmen Booking customers. This information plus your personal impression and the final quotes should help you make an informed choice of tradesperson for your job.

After the work is completed, we ask that you rate your chosen tradesperson.

To give a rating, log in to your account or launch the Homes mobile app and select ‘My jobs’ from the main navigation to view the list of jobs you have posted through Tradesmen Booking. Select the job from the list and then click the ‘Rate’ button for the tradesperson who completed the work. You will then be asked to give the tradesperson a star rating of 1 to 5 (5 being best) on their quality of work, reliability and value for money.

We highly encourage you to leave a rating. Your rating and feedback is a valuable tool for other users of Tradesmen Booking when evaluating their own tradespeople. Also, positive ratings are essential in helping good tradespeople build their business and secure future work.

However, if you are unsure about leaving a rating for any reason (e.g. you’re worried about giving negative feedback), please contact us with your feedback. We are keen to hear about your experience and an agent will get back to you with advice and next steps.
