About VettedTrade

Why we exist

Choosing the right person for work on your home should not feel like a gamble. We created VettedTrade to bring a more considered standard to how homeowners meet tradespeople across the UK.

Our network is reviewed by people who understand the job: qualified builders and masterbuilders. That practical experience helps us look beyond a polished profile and focus on the details that matter.

How vetting works

A clear process, built around real trade experience.

01

Apply to join

Tradespeople share their business details, trade specialism, service area and relevant experience.

02

Credentials reviewed

A qualified builder or masterbuilder reviews the information submitted, checking that each application meets our standards.

03

Profile approved

Successful applicants receive a vetted status and can present their business to homeowners with added confidence.

04

Standards stay visible

Vetted profiles and clear business information help homeowners make a more informed first choice.

Vetting status is shown clearly so the directory remains focused on businesses that meet the VettedTrade standard.

Less guesswork. More reassurance.

Reviewed by the trade

Vetting is led by qualified builders and masterbuilders, not an automated checklist.

Homeowners can see when a business has received approved vetted status.
