It’s free to post a job and receive up to 3 quotes from tradesmen in your area.
Each quote will display a small deposit amount. When you choose to go with a tradesman, this deposit will be expected from you before your tradesman booking is secured.
Your deposit is covered by our homeowner protection policy detailed below; if something goes wrong and the job doesn’t go ahead after your initial discussion with the tradesman, the deposit will be refunded.
Start filling out our job form. Once your job is submitted, local tradesmen will be notified automatically and prompted to quote you.
Once you are happy with a quote, click the “Accept Quote” button and pay the deposit associated with it to secure your tradesman booking. As soon as this is done, your tradesman will contact you directly to discuss the details.
Tradesmen marked as “Verified” have undergone our personal & company verification process that allowed us to confirm that they are legitimate, qualified and insured.
Tradesmen not marked as “Verified” have not undergone this process. The Tradesman.ie profile system allows tradesmen to submit their qualification proofs and documents, work samples, years of experience and more, and it is up to you to make an informed decision regarding who to hire for your job.
No tradesmen, “Verified” or not, are in any way employed or legally associated with our company and Tradesman.ie is not responsible for their actions, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.
Tradesman.ie is a trade marketplace and only facilitates the connection between tradesmen and homeowners. After the initial deposit is paid, you and the tradesman are expected to arrange all the aspects of the job including materials, unforeseen expenses and the way in which the balance is paid. No further involvement on Tradesman.ie's end can be expected for the job.
The Homeowner Protection system guarantees that your job deposit will be refunded if the below conditions are collectively met:
- You and the tradesman have not met to discuss the job more than in one initial meeting;
- You have not requested the purchase of any materials or parts from the tradesman;
- You have not, in writing, agreed with the tradesman that the job will go ahead and set a date for their work to begin.
Example: If you change your mind after the first meeting with the tradesman and you inform them of your refusal, you will receive a refund.
Example 2: If you are undecided after the first meeting with the tradesman and you call them at a later time to inform them of your refusal, you will receive a refund.
Your deposit can be paid by any credit or debit card or by PayPal. You will not be charged any processing fees.
The balance is to be paid directly to the tradesman, either in installments or upon the job’s completion, through any means that you both agree upon.
Use the “Cancel Job” button on your job page.
We believe in full transparency and being honest to everyone that chooses to use our service.
Our business model is simple: if your job goes ahead and both you and the tradesman are happy, we get to keep the small initial deposit.
We are a small Irish team that spent countless of hours and resources to make this service available to you, and to allow it to provide sustainability to our business in a way that is fair for everyone. If you have any suggestions or thoughts about how we can make it better, your feedback will always be most welcome.

Tradesman FAQ
Tradesman FAQTradesman FAQ
It’s a completely free experience for all tradesmen.
We do not charge you for signing up, we do not charge you for quoting jobs, we do not limit the number of jobs you can quote, we do not charge you to view the homeowner’s contact information, we do not charge you a subscription fee of any kind. In short, you will not be expected to pay anything at any point when using our service.
We know other companies charge you for some of the things listed above. We do not.
We charge the homeowner a small fee on top of your quote - not subtracted from it, in the form of a safety deposit that we only get to keep if the job goes ahead. Otherwise, the deposit is refunded to the homeowner, or – in circumstances outlined below – to you.
Sign Up as a tradesman and fill out your profile. Please make sure you include all your qualifications, years of experience, and as many work samples as possible. This will make you appear trustworthy and greatly increase the chance of your quotes being accepted.
Once you are signed up, you can find local jobs available for your trade and submit your quote to them. You can find jobs in the following ways:
- You sign into your account and go to the “Find Jobs” section. This is the best way to make sure you don’t miss ANY new jobs. Most of our active tradesmen check it a few times per day and submit their quotes straight away to give them the biggest chance of being chosen.
- You might receive an e-mail when a new job is available. When a new job is available for a certain trade in a certain location, 10% of all eligible tradesmen (chosen automatically and at random) will be notified by e-mail. Relying on this system alone might result in you missing out on jobs, so we strongly encourage checking the “Find Jobs” section as often as you are able to.
- Coming soon: Receiving text notifications on your phone. We are in the process of setting up a system that will allow us to text tradesmen about jobs directly.
All jobs are required to include a wide array of details, a thorough description and – where possible – photos of the area that needs work or any other images that might be relevant and allow you to quote easier.
If you do not have all the necessary information or need more photos to provide an accurate quote, request these from the homeowner in the job’s “Questions & Answers” section.
To submit your quote, just use the “Quotes” section on the job page. You will be able to update it afterwards.
No, and doing so will result in losing your account.
No, and doing so will result in losing your account. You will receive the homeowner’s contact information if your quote is accepted.
Fill out your Tradesman.ie profile to the best of your ability, providing all possible qualification proofs and details, including your company number.
Once this is done, submit a ticket through our Support page requesting the verification of your profile.
Verified tradesmen stand out from the others and are marked as verified on their profiles and quotes, greatly improving your chances of being chosen for jobs.
The Homeowner Protection system is meant to shield homeowners from bad tradesmen. However, since Tradesman.ie is a service created by tradesmen just like you, we want to make sure we offer an equal amount of protection to the tradesmen that use our service.
The Homeowner Protection system guarantees that the homeowner will be refunded their deposit if all the following conditions are met at the same time:
- You and the homeowner have not met to discuss the job more than once, and…
- The homeowner has not requested or agreed on you purchasing any materials or parts for the job, and…
- You and the homeowner have not, in writing, agreed that the job will go ahead and set a date for their work to begin.
The Tradesman Protection system guarantees that, if the job doesn’t go ahead and one or more of the above conditions are not met, you – the tradesman – will receive the deposit as a compensation for your trouble.
Example: If you and the homeowner have physically met to discuss the job two or more times and they cancel it, you are entitled to the deposit.
Example 2: If you and the homeowner have agreed, in writing, to the purchase of any materials or have set a date for your work to begin and they cancel it, you are entitled to the deposit.
We believe in full transparency and being honest to everyone that chooses to use our service.
Our business model is simple: if your job goes ahead and both you and the tradesman are happy, we get to keep the small initial deposit. Keep in mind that this deposit acts as a service fee for the homeowner and is added on top of your initial quote – not subtracted from it!
The homeowner is expected to pay you the balance (this being the full amount of your quote) directly, when the job is done or in installments, through any means you both agree upon.
We are a small Irish team that spent countless of hours and resources to make this service available to you, and to allow it to provide sustainability to our business in a way that is fair for everyone.

Tradesman is an Irish-based service that is changing how tradesmen and homeowners find each other and get jobs done together.
What does this mean? We provide homeowners with a qualified tradesman who is capable of doing high quality work for your everyday household maintenance and home upgrades. All in an easy, reliable and safe process.
We strive to have a wealth of quality tradesmen that can be hired for small jobs and large projects alike, each tradesman profile including years of experience, qualifications, work samples, ratings and reviews from jobs previously done. We also want to give tradesmen as many jobs as they can take, so that - without any hassle - they can do honest work for honest pay.
Tradesman: Benefits for the Homeowner
- Convenience: All we need is your job details and photos, and we will send your job to tradesmen in your area that will quote you. You can receive up to 3 quotes for free.
- Reviews: You can check the profile of every tradesman that quotes you. Tradesmen can be rated through a 5-star rating system and can be given written reviews, so make sure to check those out! If a tradesman hasn’t been reviewed, you can still make an informed decision based on their listed qualifications, work samples, experience and the professionalism of their quote.
- Selection: In every major area of Ireland we have over 500+ local tradesmen (carpenters, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, painters and tradesmen in many other trades). Even more remote areas are fully covered by local tradesmen, so do not hesitate to use our service regardless of where you are!
- Safe and Worry-Free: Although rare, misunderstandings can happen. If you want to cancel your job before your tradesman has done any significant amount of work, you are free to do so and we’ll gladly refund your deposit.
Tradesman: Benefits for the Tradesman
- Work Available: There is always work to be done in your area, and homeowners need you to do it. There is lots of work available here for every qualified tradesman.
- Easier Quote: For every job that homeowners send us, we request an estimated budget, a detailed description of the job and photos of the area that needs work. If you need extra photos or have any questions, you can request them directly from the homeowner through the job’s Questions & Answers system.
- A True 100% Free Experience: You can submit your quotes on as many jobs as you like, absolutely free of charge. We also don’t charge you for viewing the homeowner’s contact details, like many other services unfortunately do. Every aspect of our concept is entirely free for tradesmen and you will not be expected to pay anything at any point.
- Perfect for the Freelance Tradesman: Some tradesmen use our service as their main source of jobs, others are already employed and want to make some money on the side. No matter in which situation you are, if you are a qualified tradesman you are welcome sign up.
