Find a trusted local tradesperson, without the guesswork
Finding a reliable local tradesperson usually means asking around, phoning several firms and hoping the online reviews are real. Trade Pilot makes it simpler. Tell us what you need and your postcode, and up to 3 vetted local trades who cover your area can quote. Each job goes to no more than 3 trades, so you get enough quotes to compare without being chased by a crowd. It’s free for homeowners, and you don’t have to accept any quote.
Reviews from real, invoiced jobs
Most trade review sites let anyone post a review. On Trade Pilot, reviews are tied to jobs that were invoiced through the platform, so you’re reading about work that was actually done and paid for. That makes it easier to compare tradespeople on what matters: the quality of their work, how they communicate and whether they finish on time and on budget.
Plumbers, electricians, builders and more
You can compare quotes from plumbers, electricians, gas and boiler engineers, builders, roofers, painters and decorators, kitchen fitters and carpenters and joiners. Whether it’s a dripping tap, a boiler service, an electrical safety check, a roof repair or a new kitchen, one short form reaches local trades who do that work.
