Find Sussex trades for rental repairs, maintenance and property improvements
Whether you look after one rental property or a wider Sussex portfolio, TradeKind helps you post a specific job, browse local trade profiles and request a business directly when you already know who you want to contact.
Use TradeKind for the job, not as a substitute for your own landlord, compliance, contractor or property-management checks.
One-off repairs and planned work
Occupied, vacant and between-tenancy jobs
Sussex trade profiles with local service areas
Built around real property work
Property maintenance works better when each job has a clear owner, place and scope
A leaking fitting in one property, decorating during a void period and a larger refurbishment are different jobs. TradeKind is most useful when each request says what needs doing, where it is and which trade should see it. That creates a cleaner route to relevant businesses than bundling an entire portfolio into one vague maintenance enquiry.
Void and turnaround work
Organise decorating, cleaning, flooring, repairs, clearances and other work while a property is vacant or being prepared for the next occupant.
Planned improvements
Find local businesses for kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, landscaping, insulation and other property upgrades when the scope is known.

How TradeKind works
One job, a clear route to suitable Sussex trades
The existing TradeKind flow already supports landlords and property managers, so there is no separate contractor-management system to learn. Post the actual job, or browse when you prefer to choose a business first.
- 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
Write the request so a tradesperson can understand the job before calling
Good property briefs save time for both sides. Include what affects the work, leave out private information that does not, and separate unrelated scopes when they need different trades.
- Describe the symptom and the work you believe is needed, but do not guess at a technical diagnosis if you are unsure.
- Say whether the property is occupied or vacant where it affects access, noise, timing or the way the work will be carried out.
- Include useful photos and dimensions when available, but keep tenant names, contact details, key information and other unnecessary personal data out of the description.
- For larger refurbishments, consider separate requests for materially different trade packages so each one can reach an appropriate category.
- State any specific document, registration or evidence you require, then check it directly before work is agreed.
TradeKind helps you find the business; you decide who works on the property
A public profile is a starting point for your decision, not a guarantee of workmanship or suitability for every regulated task. Landlords and property managers should make the checks appropriate to the property and work.
- Check service areas, services, photos, reviews and other relevant profile information.
- Confirm the exact scope, quote, access arrangements, timescale and payment directly.
- Verify any credentials, registrations, insurance or evidence required for the job.
- Keep private tenant and property-security information out of job descriptions and public messages.
