Find local Sussex trades for commercial property repairs and planned work
TradeKind gives Sussex businesses and property teams a practical route to local trades for offices, shops, hospitality venues and other commercial premises: post the specific job, browse public profiles or request a business directly.
TradeKind does not provide facilities management or supervise contractors. It connects a clear property request with relevant local trade businesses.
Repairs and planned commercial property work
Local trade and service-area matching
Browse profiles before making direct requests
Built around real property work
Commercial jobs need more context than ‘please quote for maintenance’
Access hours, occupied premises, customer-facing areas and business continuity can materially change whether a job is suitable. A useful request tells the trade what the work is and the constraints that matter, while keeping security-sensitive information private.
Planned maintenance
Post defined painting, roofing, flooring, drainage, glazing, electrical and other property tasks when you have a known scope and timing window.
Fit-out and improvement work
Use TradeKind for individual trade packages within a refurbishment or premises improvement rather than treating the platform as a principal contractor.

How TradeKind works
One job, a clear route to suitable Sussex trades
Select business / commercial premises when you post. TradeKind uses the trade category and service area to route the request, while the business still decides whether the scope and timing are suitable.
- 01
Post the work you need done
Choose the trade and Sussex town, describe the job, add the property postcode and timing, and include photos when they will help a tradesperson understand the scope.
- 02
Relevant local trades are alerted
TradeKind matches the request to published businesses by trade category and service area. You can also browse the directory or request one specific business from its profile.
- 03
Review the response and decide
Speak to suitable businesses, compare the information and quotes you receive, make any checks you need and decide whether to agree the work.
Better briefs, better conversations
Include operational constraints without publishing security details
Commercial work often succeeds or fails on access and timing as much as the task itself. Give businesses enough information to assess those constraints early.
- Explain what the premises is used for and whether the work area is customer-facing, operational or vacant when that changes how the job can be carried out.
- State permitted access or working windows, including out-of-hours needs, but do not post alarm details, codes, key locations or other security information.
- Add photos, approximate sizes and known finishes or materials where they help define the scope.
- Split materially different trade packages into separate requests where practical so each job can be matched to the right category.
- Tell the business about site-specific evidence, insurance, induction or documentation requirements before appointment and verify them directly.
Commercial suitability is something you confirm with the individual business
TradeKind can show useful public profile information and route requests, but it does not certify a business for every commercial environment or take responsibility for your contractor-selection process.
- Check whether the public profile says the business accepts commercial work.
- Discuss access, working hours, RAMS or other site requirements directly where relevant.
- Verify required insurance, credentials, registrations and documentation before appointment.
- Agree scope, quotation, programme, payment and contractual terms directly with the chosen business.
