we provide trust, structure, and visibility.
Built to convert customers (and protect trades)

No payment handling
We do not invoice customers, hold deposits, or process job payments through the platform.
Trade Levels
Three clear levels. Customers understand them instantly — and you can upgrade any time.
🥉 Standard Trade
- Create a profile
- Receive job notifications
- Message homeowners
- Submit quotes
- Appears after Verified and Gold
Marked as Not Verified. Customers can still choose you, but trust is lower — so conversions are usually lower.
Only pay on success. If you win a job through FixItBuildIt, a success fee applies (see bands below).
🥈 Verified Trade
£49.99 / year
Per sector~£4 / month per sector
Verification is per sector, not per business.
- Trusted & Verified badge displayed to customers
- Appears above Standard listings
- Higher homeowner trust = higher conversion rates
- No monthly commitment
Verification checks: proof of insurance, references, completed job examples (photos + description), and sector confirmation.
🥇 Gold Trade
£39.99 / month
Top tierPriority + trust
Gold Trade = Verified + Priority placement + performance advantage.
- Up to 3 verified sectors included
- Priority placement everywhere
- 2-hour head start on new jobs
- Better visibility = more wins
Verification still happens. Gold doesn’t skip checks — it bundles up to 3 verified sectors and fast-tracks visibility once approved.
Gold Trade: 2-Hour Head Start
This makes Gold genuinely valuable — without blocking other trades.
0–2 hrs
Gold only. Message, quote, secure the job early.
After 2 hrs
Verified trades can view and quote.
Next
Standard trades can view and quote.
Success Fee
Trades pay a small success fee only when they win a job and work has started (confirmed).
This applies to Standard, Verified, and Gold.
