Frequently asked questions
Trade Hunter is a local job-matching app that connects people who need work done with nearby tradespeople.
Customers post real jobs, and tradespeople choose whether they want to respond. There’s no obligation, no pressure, and no fees to use the app.
Tradespeople can also use Trade Hunter to find other local trades when they need extra help or specialist skills on a job.
Trade Hunter is for:
• Tradespeople who want to find work locally, choose which jobs they respond to, and connect with other trades
• Customers who want to find and choose local tradespeople for real jobs
It’s designed for everyday repairs, maintenance, and improvement work.
Trade Hunter works a bit differently to most trade platforms:
• The app is free to all
• Tradespeople don’t pay to use the app
• There are no subscriptions or pay-per-lead fees
• Customers choose who they want to contact
• Jobs are opt-in — you only respond if you’re interested
• Tradespeople can also use the app to find other trades
Everything is focused on local work and practical outcomes.
Trade Hunter works by matching real jobs with local tradespeople.
Customers post a job describing what they need help with.
Tradespeople nearby can see the job and decide whether they want to respond.
There’s no obligation on either side — it’s about choice, not pressure.
