Why it's different

no more “can you give us a rough idea”

01 — precision

Nothing important gets missed

The AI interview asks the questions a trade would ask on site, so briefs arrive with access, materials and timeline already covered.

02 — clarity

One brief, every trade reads it the same

Structured output means quotes come back comparable — no more working out if two quotes actually cover the same job.

03 — speed

Minutes, not phone tag

Customers brief once and share everywhere. Trades quote off a real brief instead of a half-remembered call.

Questions

before you get started
Which trades is this for?

Electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers, decorators and more — any trade that quotes jobs from a written brief.

Is TradeScoper UK-wide?

Yes — briefs and smart links work anywhere in the UK. Local reach depends on which trades and forums you share with.

How is this different from Checkatrade or MyBuilder?

Those are directories for finding a trade. TradeScoper is the brief itself — use it alongside any directory, forum, or a trade you already know.

Do trades need to be vetted to join?

We don't formally vet trades before they join. Trades set up a free profile with their business details — including a VAT number, where applicable — so you can see who you're dealing with before sharing a brief. As with any trade you find, it's worth doing your own checks.
