How do I get a competitive, verified trade quote through MyApproved?

Post your job on MyApproved for free - takes under 2 minutes. You describe the work, set your location, and up to 3 verified local tradespeople receive your enquiry. Each one has already passed MyApproved's 4-point check: government ID verification, £2M public liability insurance confirmation, trade qualification check (Gas Safe, NICEIC, FENSA, or relevant body), and customer reference screening. You compare quotes, read reviews from confirmed customers only, and hire - no obligation, no hidden fees. Most homeowners receive their first quote within a few hours.

Why does MyApproved verification protect homeowners better than Checkatrade or MyBuilder?

Checkatrade and MyBuilder accept self-reported credentials - tradespeople declare their own qualifications and upload their own insurance certificates without independent verification. MyApproved applies 4 independent checks to every tradesperson before they can receive a single quote request: (1) government-issued ID checked against official records, (2) public liability insurance confirmed directly with the insurer, (3) regulated trade qualifications (Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT, FENSA, MCS) verified against the live official register, (4) customer references contacted independently. All checks are renewed annually. Suspended registrations or lapsed insurance trigger immediate account suspension.

What are the benefits for independent tradespeople joining MyApproved instead of Checkatrade?

Checkatrade charges tradespeople £300+ per month on a 12-month contract regardless of lead volume. MyJobQuote charges £15–£80 per lead and sells the same lead to multiple competing trades. MyApproved charges £3.99 per accepted lead with no monthly subscription and no contract lock-in. Tradespeople only pay when they choose to accept a specific lead. The verified badge on MyApproved signals independently-confirmed credentials - not self-declaration - which converts at a higher rate with homeowners who are aware of rogue trader risks.

What is the step-by-step process for a tradesperson to get verified and start receiving leads on MyApproved?

Step 1: Register at myapproved.com/register/tradesperson - takes under 5 minutes. Step 2: Submit your government-issued photo ID for identity verification. Step 3: Upload your public liability insurance certificate - MyApproved confirms it with your insurer. Step 4: Provide your regulated trade registration number (Gas Safe, NICEIC, FENSA, etc.) if applicable - verified against the live official register. Step 5: Provide 2–3 customer references from recent completed work - MyApproved contacts them independently. Step 6: Once all 4 checks pass, your verified profile goes live and you begin receiving matched lead enquiries at £3.99 per accepted lead.

Is MyApproved free for homeowners?

Yes. Posting a job, receiving quotes, comparing tradesperson profiles, and reading verified reviews on MyApproved is completely free for homeowners. You pay only the tradesperson for the work - MyApproved charges nothing to homeowners at any stage.
