The problem
For years, finding a reliable tradesperson has been harder than it should be. Homeowners bounce between directories, Facebook groups, recommendations from friends and endless Google searches — never quite knowing who they can trust.
Tradespeople face the opposite problem. The best professionals often struggle to stand out online, while poor-quality listings, fake reviews and expensive lead-generation platforms dominate search results.
The industry deserves better.
What we believe
Trust isn't built from advertising. It's built from transparency.
That's why FixaTrader is designed around real people, real businesses and real work — instead of asking homeowners to trust a profile, we help them understand the professional behind it.
What makes us different
Every tradesperson has a professional profile, not just a business listing. Credentials, qualifications, completed work, business information and community activity all contribute to a clearer picture of who someone really is.
Tradespeople don't just advertise — they share knowledge, projects, advice, industry discussions and updates. Homeowners gain confidence by seeing professionals participate openly before they ever request a quote.
Rather than relying on marketing claims alone, FixaTrader encourages businesses to verify credentials, showcase completed work and build trust over time.
Every profile, business, project and discussion helps strengthen local discovery, making it easier for homeowners to find trusted professionals nearby.
Where we're heading
FixaTrader combines professional profiles, business listings, community discussions, completed projects, articles, industry news and verified credentials into one connected platform designed to help homeowners make better decisions and help professionals build lasting reputations.
Our long-term vision is a platform where homeowners and professionals can discover, communicate and build trusted working relationships throughout every stage of a project.
Our values
Trust is earned through transparency, consistency and professionalism — not advertising.
We believe sharing knowledge makes the whole industry stronger.
Every feature we build is designed to reward genuine professionals.
Finding the right tradesperson shouldn't be complicated.
Who it's for
Discover professionals with verified credentials, real projects and an active presence in the community — before making a decision.
Build your professional reputation, showcase your work, share your expertise and grow your business on a platform designed specifically for the industry.
Our story
FixaTrader was created because we believed the trades industry deserved a platform built around professionalism rather than lead generation.
We're still building. We're listening to feedback every day. And every feature we release moves us one step closer to making it easier for homeowners to find trusted professionals — and easier for great professionals to be discovered.
Join the homeowners and tradespeople already building a better way to find — and be found by — trusted professionals.
Most directories stop at a listing. FixaTrader is a professional network — every tradesperson has a profile built from real credentials, completed projects and community activity, not just a business name and a phone number. Homeowners can see the person behind the profile before they ever request a quote, and tradespeople build a reputation that grows the more they contribute — through published work, discussions, and verified reviews.
Both. FixaTrader is built for both sides of the job. Homeowners can browse verified profiles, ask questions in the community feed, and see real completed work before hiring — completely free, with no account required to search. Tradespeople get a professional profile, business tools, and a platform designed to help them build a genuine reputation rather than just pay for leads.
Search by trade and postcode to browse verified professionals, or post a job or question to the local community feed and let tradespeople come to you. Every profile shows real completed projects, credentials, and reviews — so you can make a decision based on actual proof of work, not just a star rating and a sales pitch. Contact and quote directly, with no platform fees.
A free business profile, a professional profile with verified credentials, a work showcase where every completed project becomes a Google-indexed page, and a local leaderboard ranked on real activity. On top of that, you get the community feed to answer questions and share updates, quote management, in-app messaging, and analytics to track views, quotes and conversions — all in one place, at no cost.
We take trust seriously. Every tradesperson on FixaTrader goes through our verification process, which includes identity verification, business registration checks, and credential validation. Claims like insurance, VAT registration and trade licences are shown alongside the actual evidence submitted for them — so homeowners see what's been verified, not just what's been claimed.
Absolutely. Your feedback directly shapes our roadmap. We're not here to build what we think you need — we build what you actually need. If you have a feature request that makes sense for the platform, we'll prioritise building it. We ship updates regularly and are constantly improving the platform based on real user input.
As a homeowner, just search or post a job — no account needed to browse. As a tradesperson, sign up, complete verification, and set up your business profile; once verified you can start quoting on jobs, appear in the directory, and join the community feed. Either way, it's free to get started.
