Why tradespeople work with us
We do the marketing: local search pages for 65 areas of Dublin, price guides, grant guides and calculators that bring customers in. You do what you're good at.
No bidding wars
Most quote sites send each job to several trades at once. We match each enquiry with one vetted tradesperson, so you're not racing to undercut anyone.
Customers ready to go
Every enquiry answers questions about when they want to start, whether they own the property and their rough budget, so you can prioritise serious jobs.
Work where you want
Pick the districts you cover, from North County Dublin to Dún Laoghaire, and the commuter belt as we expand. No driving across the city for small jobs.
Emergency and planned work
From burst pipes and lockouts that need someone today, to extensions, retrofits and kitchens planned months ahead.
The "Vetted by Emergency Trade" badge
Show customers you've been checked. Add the badge to your website, van or quotes to build trust.
Grant-funded work
Our SEAI and council grant guides bring in homeowners planning insulation, heat pumps, windows and adaptations, many with grants already in mind.

Questions tradespeople ask
Does it cost anything to join?
No. Applying is free, and your first leads come as a trial so you can judge the quality before paying anything.
How many leads will I get?
It depends on your trade, your areas and the time of year. We'll give you an honest idea for your trade and districts before you commit.
Are leads shared with other tradespeople?
We match each enquiry with one tradesperson. On some large projects a customer may ask for a second quote, and we'll always tell you if that's the case.
What if a lead is no good?
Genuinely invalid leads, such as a wrong number, a duplicate or a job outside your area, are credited or replaced.
Am I tied into a contract?
No long contracts. Pay-per-lead can be paused at any time, and exclusive areas run month to month.
Do you take a cut of the job?
We'll agree the pricing with you upfront, either a fee per lead, a completed job commission, or a monthly area fee, so you always know the cost before you take a job.
