How finding work here differs

  • No lead fees — expressing interest in a job costs nothing under the current model.
  • A maximum of four tradespeople per job, so you are not one of ten quotes.
  • Jobs matched to your own base postcode and travel radius, which you control.
  • Customer messaging happens on the platform until both sides are ready to swap details.
  • Reviews build on your profile as you complete work, which feeds your local visibility.

Local work by area

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to find work on Find A Trade Local?

Yes. Creating a business profile and expressing interest in customer jobs costs nothing under the current model. There are no lead fees and no subscription.

Are these employment vacancies?

No. These are one-off work opportunities posted by people who need a job doing — not salaried positions. You quote for the work as a self-employed tradesperson or business.

How many tradespeople see each job?

Each job is limited to a maximum of four interested tradespeople, so customers are not overwhelmed and you are not quoting against a crowd.

How do I only see work in my area?

You set your base postcode and travel radius on your profile. Jobs are matched to the postcodes you actually cover, and you can widen or narrow that radius at any time.
