How TradesIreland.ie works
A straightforward directory: customers find local tradespeople and contact them directly. No middleman on the job, no commission, and no hidden rules about who appears first.

Step 1
Search by trade and town
Type the job — “boiler repair”, “roof leak”, “decking” — and your town, county or Eircode. You'll see businesses based nearby and those who travel to your area.

Step 3
Contact them directly — or post your job
Call, message or request a quote with no account needed. Or describe the job once and up to five local businesses can quote.

Step 4
Hire, then leave a review

Transparency
The rules, in plain English
How listings are ordered and what our labels mean — the same for every business.
Documents checked
Our team checked photo ID and current insurance, plus registrations such as RGII or Safe Electric where relevant. It's free and can't be bought. It isn't a guarantee of workmanship.
A paid placement
Up to three Featured businesses can appear first in a trade and area. They're always labelled and don't get better reviews or badges.
How we order results
After any Featured listings, businesses are ordered by rating weighted by number of reviews, and by distance when you search a town. You can sort differently at any time.
Checked before publishing
Reviews come from customers who contacted the business through us. We check each one, and businesses can't pay to remove them.
We're a directory, not a contractor. Your agreement is with the business you hire. Always get a written quote, check insurance and avoid paying the full price before work starts. Read our hiring checklist.
