Explore Tradesmen ShowcaseYou give us the details. We do the legwork.
Once we receive the relevant information about your project — including the type of work, location, timeframe and any specific requirements — we use those details to identify potentially suitable professionals in the network and make the necessary enquiries.
This can reduce the time spent searching and repeating the same project details to multiple companies. The clearer your enquiry, the easier it is to understand what trade, experience and coverage area your project may require.
Support for homeowners and landlords
Whether you are renovating a bathroom, extending your home, repairing a roof or arranging plumbing, electrical, carpentry, landscaping or window and door work, you can submit the project details through Trade Source IRE.
Landlords can also use the service for repairs, planned maintenance, property upgrades and work between tenancies.
Helping businesses and contractors
Business owners can contact Trade Source IRE when they need tradespeople for maintenance, refurbishment and property-improvement work. Building contractors can also submit requirements when they need additional trades, specialist skills or extra capacity for a current or upcoming project.
Depending on the job, that might mean sourcing one suitable tradesman or helping identify several different trades around the same project.
What to include when you contact us
Giving us useful information from the beginning helps us understand the job and identify potentially suitable professionals more efficiently.
- Trade or type of work required
- Town, county or project location
- Clear description of the work
- Preferred timeframe
- Useful measurements or specifications
- Photos where they help explain the job
Insurance and credentials: always make project-specific checks
Insurance, qualifications and registrations can differ depending on the contractor and the type of work involved. Before appointing any tradesperson, ask for current evidence that is relevant to your job and independently verify regulated credentials where applicable. A website introduction or project gallery should support your search, not replace your own final checks.
Trusted trades. Proven professionals.
Our goal is to make finding suitable tradespeople simpler. Tell us what work you need completed and provide the relevant project details. Trade Source IRE will review the enquiry, do the legwork and help make the connection where suitable network availability exists.
