Trade Source IRE: A Better Way to Find Trusted Tradesmen in Ireland

Trade Source IRE was created to make the search easier. We help homeowners, landlords, business owners, builders, contractors and developers find potentially suitable tradespeople throughout Ireland—from plumbers, electricians and carpenters to builders, roofers, groundworkers and specialist contractors.

Trade Source IRE is not simply a list of names gathered from the internet. It has been built from more than ten years of direct experience in Ireland’s trade and construction industry.

Built From Real Trade Experience

Before Trade Source IRE, its founder spent over a decade building relationships with tradesmen across Ireland through the sale of professional tools, small plant, machinery and everyday trade consumables. That background also includes time working on building sites and serving a plumbing apprenticeship.

Years of speaking with builders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roofers, groundworkers, plasterers and specialist contractors created something that cannot be assembled overnight: a genuine nationwide network and a practical understanding of how the industry works.

Network Standards Matter

New tradesmen applying to join the Trade Source IRE network are reviewed before acceptance. Applicants are asked for appropriate insurance and examples of recent workmanship are reviewed or inspected as part of the network process.

How Trade Source IRE Helps Homeowners

Whether you have a leaking roof, a bathroom renovation, an attic conversion, new windows, an insulation upgrade or a full extension, you can send the details once rather than contacting dozens of companies individually.

Include:

• The work you need completed
• Your town or county
• Your preferred timeframe
• Your approximate budget, if known
• Relevant photographs, measurements or drawings

Trade Source IRE reviews the enquiry and helps identify potentially suitable tradespeople where available. It is free for customers to enquire and there is no obligation to proceed.

Find builders across Ireland, electricians across Ireland, plumbers across Ireland, carpenters across Ireland, roofing contractors, or browse every trade.

Helping Landlords and Property Managers

A leaking tap in one rental property may be manageable. Plumbing, electrical, door, heating and decorating problems across several properties can quickly become a full-time job.

Trade Source IRE can help source trades for repairs, maintenance, refurbishment and work between tenancies, including plumbing and heating repairs, electrical faults, painting, carpentry, roofing, bathrooms, windows and doors, and wider property maintenance.

Helping Businesses

Shops, offices, warehouses, pubs, restaurants and commercial units all need reliable contractors for maintenance, repairs, fit-outs and upgrades. The network covers electrical, plumbing, construction, decorating and maintenance work as well as specialist services such as groundworks, demolition, concrete cutting, core drilling and plant hire.

Helping Builders Find Subcontractors

One missing subcontractor can disrupt an entire programme. Builders and main contractors can submit the trade required, site location, scope, proposed start date and likely duration. Trade Source IRE can then help identify potentially suitable subcontractors where availability allows.

This can be useful when a regular subcontractor is unavailable, a project is outside your normal area, specialist expertise is required or extra labour is needed during a busy period.

Helping Good Tradesmen Find More Work

Trade Source IRE also supports tradesmen and construction companies that want to grow their business and fill gaps in the diary. Approved contractors may be considered for suitable enquiries based on their trade, location, preferred work and availability.

Tradesmen can also present real completed projects through the Tradesmen Showcase, giving customers a clear view of their work, service areas and preferred projects. Apply to join the Trade Source IRE contractor network.

A Network Built Across Ireland

Trade Source IRE accepts enquiries throughout Ireland, from Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick to smaller towns, villages and rural areas. Connections depend on the trade, project details, area and contractor availability.

Why Trade Source IRE Is Different

• More than ten years around Ireland’s trade industry
• Real building-site and plumbing experience
• Years supplying professional tools, small plant and consumables
• Direct relationships with tradesmen nationwide
• Insurance and workmanship review for new network applicants
