About the NearbyTraders editorial team

NearbyTraders is written and edited by a small UK-based team with first-hand experience of hiring and working with tradespeople across Kent and Greater London. We research every trade category on the site, call listed businesses to verify contact details, and check accreditations such as Gas Safe, NICEIC, and TrustMark before marking a profile as verified.

Our research standards

Guides and comparison pages are based on a combination of public registers (Companies House, Gas Safe Register, NICEIC), publicly posted Google Reviews, industry price data, and our own mystery-shop quotes. Where we recommend a particular approach or warn readers about a common scam, we link to the underlying source so you can double-check us.

Corrections and updates

If you run a trade business listed on NearbyTraders and any of the information we publish is wrong, email us at hello@nearbytraders.co.uk and we will either correct it or remove the profile within seven working days. Homeowners who have had a poor experience with a listed trader can report them through the Report a Problem link in the footer of any listing page.
