For homeowners
How we recommend tradespeople
Recommended for you is a short list, usually 3 to 5 firms. The order comes from the job and the postcode. You can untick any firm before you ask for quotes.
1.Location
Firms that work in your postcode, and that are closer to the job, rank higher.
2.Verified rating
We use reviews from customers whose job was completed. A rating with no finished job does not count the same way.
3.Qualifications
The firm needs the tickets for the trade. A gas job looks for a gas qualification, not a general rating.
4.Responsiveness
Firms that reply to quote requests rank higher than firms that leave people waiting.
5.Availability
A firm that can take the job soon ranks above a firm that is booked up.
Paid placement
Paying Multitrade does not move a firm up or down this ranking. A firm that has paid to be shown is labelled Sponsored. That label is text on the card, not only a colour. A sponsored firm is not treated as a recommendation.
