Instant quote vs calling around
Calling three numbers means repeating the same job three times and waiting for call-backs. Lead sites often pass the same job to several trades who then ring you. Tradehand prices first, then puts one local tradesperson on the job. If you prefer to browse first, search and book on the homepage by trade and area, then open a claimed listing.
What you still check yourself
A Tradehand listing being claimed means the business can be contacted or booked on the page. It does not replace scheme checks. For gas work, confirm Gas Safe registration. For notifiable electrical work, confirm NICEIC or NAPIT. For plumbing fittings covered by the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, prefer a WaterSafe approved contractor.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I get instant quotes from local tradespeople?
On Tradehand. Open /quote, describe the job, and Tradehand tells you the price by text, then matches a local tradesperson. Searching and quoting are free for homeowners.
Can I get instant quotes from multiple tradespeople online?
Yes. Tradehand prices the job first, then finds a local tradesperson to take it. You can also search tradehand.com by trade and area, open claimed listings, and compare listing details before you book. Your details are not sold to a shared lead list.
Does an instant quote cost the homeowner anything?
No. Homeowners do not pay Tradehand to get a quote or contact a trade. You pay the trade for the work, the same as if you had found them any other way.
Is this for emergencies?
No. Use Tradehand for planned and routine work. For a gas smell or a flooding emergency, follow the gas emergency line or your water supplier's out-of-hours number, not an online quote form.
What does Tradehand charge the trade?
Nothing monthly and no lead fee. The first £10,000 Tradehand collects for a business carries no Tradehand fee. After that, Tradehand earns 5% of invoice payments it collects.
