Why use Trade Connection?

You can get contract workers at the push of a button. Increase your team size at short notice & only for the length of a project or busy period.
No ongoing liabilities or requirements to find work for your larger team.
We don't take a percentage of the workers hourly rate making it fairer, cheaper & faster due to the direct nature of bookings.

How do I get started as someone who is looking to book a worker?

1) Create a free Business Account - we just need your name phone number & email. There are no booking fees for your first 5 bookings.
2) Browse contract workers who are available for instant bookings. You can browse week by week and see who's available. See their hourly rate & a profile that details their skills, experience & LBP status etc.
3) To book a worker you click book for the days you want them & then confirm it on the next screen. Done.
4) Once booked (or close to the booking date) you give them a call or text telling them the site address, a start time & anything useful e.g bring your table saw or trailer.
5) After the days work is done, you give the worker an anonymous rating out of 5 stars.
6) The worker will send you an invoice (just like most contractors do) that you can pay promptly.

I just made a booking, what next?

Give the worker a call or a txt. Let them know where the job is and what time you normally start.
Also let them know what stage the job is at and who to talk to when they get to site.
If the booking is a month or two away, it might be best to wait until a week or two out.

Things have changed and I need to cancel a booking

You can cancel a booking from the booking details page. Respect the worker and only do this when you absolutely have to & not at the last minute.
If you cancel too many bookings Trade Connection will be in touch with you and the worker to ensure people are being fair.

I want to double check the booking as I'm relying on the extra set of hands

Give the worker a call and double check.
Contact details are on the bookings page.
