TradesAround is an innovative platform designed to connect UK homeowners with reputable local tradespeople across a wide range of categories, with a focus initially on Oxfordshire.
Unlike traditional directories that rely on paid leads or unclear badges, TradesAround emphasizes transparency and trustworthiness.
Its key USPs include an AI-powered Verified Assessment system that automatically evaluates each tradesperson’s credentials against trusted public registers such as Companies House, Gas Safe, NICEIC, and FENSA, providing an objective trust score.
This continuous validation ensures that verified professionals are accurately represented, giving homeowners confidence in their choices.
The platform offers free profile claims for tradespeople, avoiding the typical model of paid leads or rankings that promote bias.
Instead, it prioritizes honest, verified information without charging extra for visibility.
With targeted local focus, users can easily search by trade and town, making it highly practical and user-friendly.
Able to analyze sentiment from reviews and surface factual claims, TradesAround is designed to foster genuine trust between tradespeople and customers.
Its entry into Oxfordshire marks the beginning of a new era in local trade directories focused on transparency, continuous verification, and fair visibility, making it an engaging tool for both professionals and homeowners alike.
