Getting verified as a tradesperson
Tradesperson
The Verified badge is one of the first things homeowners look for, and it's checked against the public registers — not just an uploaded logo. Here's how verification works and how to get yours.
What we verify
We check credentials against public registers: Gas Safe for gas work, Part P schemes such as NICEIC and NAPIT for electrical work, and Companies House for limited companies. These are the same registers a careful homeowner would check themselves.
Verifying against the source — not a photo of a card — is what makes the badge mean something. It's why homeowners trust it and why it helps you win work.
How to get verified
From your dashboard, add the relevant registration numbers and business details for the work you do. Make sure the details match exactly what's on the official register.
We check them and award the Verified badge once they're confirmed. Keep your registrations current — if something lapses, renew it so your verified status holds.
Why it's worth it
Verified trades stand out in search and in quotes, and homeowners can filter for them. Given the badge is checked against public registers, it carries real weight with people choosing who to let into their home.
Strong verification plus genuine reviews from completed jobs is the combination that wins work on the platform.
