How do I find a trusted builder near me?+
Post your job free on Tradzigo, or pick a city below. We match your job to local builders whose ID, insurance and trade credentials have been checked by our team, then you compare quotes, reviews and availability in one place.
How much do builders charge in the UK?+
Most builders work to a £45–£75 hourly rate, or quote a fixed price after seeing the job. Prices vary by region and access, which is why every Tradzigo city page shows an indicative local price guide.
Are Tradzigo builders vetted?+
Yes. Every listed pro submits photo ID, proof of address, trade credentials and public liability insurance (typically £2m). Our admin team reviews the documents manually and listings are suspended if cover lapses.
Does it cost anything to get quotes?+
No. Posting a job, receiving quotes and messaging builders is free for homeowners. Tradzigo is funded by a commission the tradesperson pays after you approve the completed work.
How is my payment protected?+
Payment is held securely and only released to the builder once you confirm the job is finished to your satisfaction. On a £500 job the pro receives £400 and Tradzigo keeps £100.
How quickly can a builder start?+
Many builders offer same-week slots and some cover emergencies 24/7. First responses to a posted job typically arrive within an hour.
