A simpler way for Sussex letting and estate agents to find local trades
From a tenant-reported repair to pre-let decorating or work needed before a property goes to market, TradeKind gives Sussex property professionals one clear place to post the job, browse local trade profiles or request a specific business.
TradeKind is Sussex-focused. It provides the directory and request tools; it does not act as the contractor, letting agent or managing agent.

Built around real property work
Built for the awkward jobs that sit between a phone call and a contractor list
Property teams often need different trades for different moments: something has failed at a managed property, a landlord wants work completed between tenancies, or a sale needs practical work before it moves forward. The useful route is not another generic directory page — it is a clear job brief connected to businesses that actually cover that trade and area.
Pre-let and void works
Find decorators, cleaners, flooring specialists, handymen and other relevant trades for work needed between occupancies or before a new tenancy.
Sale and presentation work
Use local trade profiles for practical work a vendor or landlord wants completed before photography, marketing, viewings or completion.

How TradeKind works
One job, a clear route to suitable Sussex trades
Use TradeKind for the individual piece of work in front of you. That keeps each property, location and trade requirement clear and gives local businesses enough information to decide whether the job is 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
Give the trade enough information to make a useful first decision
A property-professional brief should reduce back-and-forth without exposing private tenant information. Keep it practical, property-specific and relevant to the work.
- State the property town and full postcode in the secure job form, then describe the actual fault or work required rather than only writing ‘maintenance needed’.
- Add photos of the work where they help, but avoid uploading documents or images that expose unnecessary tenant, owner or access information.
- Say whether the property is occupied, vacant or between tenancies when that genuinely affects access or timing.
- If several unrelated trades are needed, separate them into clear jobs where practical so each request reaches the right trade category.
- For certificates, regulated work or specialist qualifications, state what you need and verify the relevant evidence directly with the business before appointment.
You remain in control of appointment and contractor checks
TradeKind helps people discover and contact Sussex trade businesses. It does not select a contractor for your agency, supervise the work or replace the checks your business is responsible for making.
- Review the individual public profile and the information the business has provided.
- Agree access, scope, price, timescale and payment directly with the chosen business.
- Verify registrations, insurance, qualifications or certificates where the specific work requires them.
- Do not include alarm codes, key locations or unnecessary tenant personal data in a public-facing description.
