Homeowner guidance
Before hiring any trade, it is sensible to check a few basics so you know what is included and what to expect.
- Check examples of previous work
- Ask whether the trade has relevant insurance
- Get the quote in writing
- Confirm what is included before work starts
- Avoid paying large amounts upfront
- Use reviews and TradeKind profile information to compare trades
- Report suspicious or misleading profiles to TradeKind
TradeKind helps homeowners compare local trades, but homeowners should still make their own checks before hiring.
