Yes, free for homeowners to search, compare, and contact. You only pay the tradesperson directly for their work.
Who gets my job?+
Only tradespeople who have passed verification (identity, business and insurance checks) and who match your trade, or who cover your postcode within 50 miles. They contact you by phone to discuss the job.
How do tradespeople contact me?+
By phone. After you submit your job, matched tradespeople call the number you provide to discuss the work and agree a price. You never pay MyApproved for a quote.
