New section — adverts, photographs, reviews and ratings are currently under testing.

This is a design preview only, not a real business advert or a verified recommendation. No business claims, ratings or customer experiences on this page have been checked. Once the directory opens, independent moderation will still be different from a guarantee of workmanship. Do not rely on this preview to choose or contact a tradesperson.

Enough to identify the advertiser without exposing unnecessary private data.

A proper description, written by the tradesperson

This space will allow tradespeople to explain how they work, the jobs they are best suited to, experience and customer expectations. It will not be presented as independently proven just because an administrator has moderated the advert.

THE REPUTATION, WITH CONTEXT

Customer reviews you can understand

Member reviews planned
No published or approved ratings yet.

Future star averages will use only administrator-approved reviews from eligible, non-banned members. A banned member's stars will stop counting immediately. Until verified reviews exist, we won't invent a five-star score or testimonials.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before booking any trade

Is an approved advert the same as a guaranteed tradesperson?

No. Approval will mean an advert passed our publication checks. Skills, insurance and memberships must be assessed and labelled separately; we cannot guarantee workmanship.

Can a business remove an honest negative review?

A trade may report an abusive or false review, but negative feedback is not automatically misconduct. A moderation decision should be reasoned, consistent and open to challenge.

Will photographs prove that a business completed the work?

No. Photo processing helps stop malicious file uploads; it does not prove who took a photograph or who completed a job. Verified evidence claims must be distinguished from business-submitted photographs.

EARLY PREVIEW · OCTOBER 2026

Professional, but not at the expense of trust.

We're building this carefully. When adverts and reviews launch, there will be clear moderation, reporting, photo-security and member-banning rules — and clear labelling while the service is new.
