I've sorted out the 'find a trader' section on all our forums

[Dan]

Should be able to find these forum categories at the top of the forum homepage I'm hoping promoting all the forums on all the forum kinda gets more enquiries coming in. Check those out to see what you think.

Find Professional Tradesmen for Free (And of course tradesmen find the work for free!):-

• Customers Post Plumbing Jobs Here - Plumbers Look For Work Here
• Customers Post Heating Engineer Jobs Here - Heating Engineers Look For Work Here
• Customers Post Domestic Electrical Work Here - Domestic Electricians Look For Work Here
• Customers Post Commercial Electrical Work Here - Commercial Electricians Look For Work Here
• Customers Post Tiling Work Here - Tilers Look for Work Here

Of course we also have the Tilers Directory and Electrician's Directory too. Register your business to those for free.

We're working on a totally different system for our Plumber's Directory, it's going to be more like a CheckaTrade type website but totally free of charge for both the customer and the tradesman. More on that in the future. If that works out well, we'll convert our tiler's and electrician's directories over to the same kinda thing.

Also, if any tradesmen are specifically looking for work, then please do post details of your experience and what kind of work you're looking for in our dedicated forums:-

• Tilers Looking for Work Post Here
• Plumbers Looking for Work Post Here
• Electricians Looking for Work Post Here

Looks good. If it works would be amazing.

It has been running on our tilers and electrical forums for ages.

We get jobs posted every couple of days on our tilers one. Not just domestic either we get contractors booking our tilers up for weeks. Take a look at the last 2 jobs. One is for a full time tiler and the other 6-8 week contract but a reputable forum member who now employs half a dozen forum members.

It works. We did it.

Yeh looks good Dan, I think it great all the things that's being done not only for the users / customers but for tradesmen also, i think it will be really beneficial to loads of folks , maybe slightly less for me but that's only down to where I'm based in the spectrum haha, I'm based in a town way up between Aberdeen and Inverness , In a land far forgotten lol, no just kidding,,,, excellent work Dan ,

 

[gadget53]

Looks good well up for anything that brings in extra work

So, what's in it for potential posters?
Is it regionalised?
TBH, the one thing that most concerns me is making sure the poster isnt yet another nutter who doesnt want to pay. Personally id like to be able to score them in 5 sep areas: clarity of need, timescales, budgeting, payment, working relationship

You just have to use your existing skills to avoid those and give them the benefit of the doubt.

A heavy forum contributor will have a lot of posts customers can check to see what their advice is like etc. Tilers have a albums area with photos of work and things.

It's regionalised on there but yet to be on our other forums.
