Helping homeowners find trusted, local tradespeople
We built Local Trades Direct to make it easier for UK homeowners to compare local specialists, request free quotes, and move forward with confidence.
Our Mission
Finding a reliable tradesperson in the UK shouldn’t be stressful. Too often, homeowners waste hours searching, make calls that go unanswered, or hire someone who turns out to be unreliable.
Local Trades Direct was built to fix that. We make it simple to find qualified, insured, and locally-operating tradespeople in your area, and to get free quotes without any obligation. We cover over 4,143 towns across England, Scotland, and Wales, across 10 essential trades.

What We Stand For
-
✓
Local focus. Every search result is a tradesperson who actually operates in your area, not someone two counties away.
-
✓
No fees for homeowners. Getting quotes is completely free. We are funded by tradespeople who subscribe to receive leads, not by charging homeowners.
-
✓
No obligation. You’re never obligated to hire anyone. Get quotes, compare, and decide in your own time.
-
✓
Transparency. We don’t mark up quotes or take a cut of any job. What you agree with the tradesperson is between you and them.
