Trade Partners
Keep trusted trades close. Refer work when you need a specialist, without turning Total Tradesmen into a public marketplace.
What It Is
Trade Partners is an optional network for paid Total Tradesmen members. List your company, find other businesses by trade and location, and get in touch when a job needs another specialist.
It sits beside the work you already run in the app. No homeowner browsing, no lead marketplace, and no in app chat.
Who Can Use It
Built for firms that already run jobs in Total Tradesmen and sometimes need another trade they can trust.
- Included on Solo, Team and Enterprise
- Not available on trial accounts
- Not a public find a tradesman site for homeowners
- Contact stays on phone or website, not in app chat
How Members Use It
Four simple habits. List once, search when you need cover, keep the firms you trust close, and call them direct.
- List. Add your trade, services, coverage area and a short description. Include a phone number and website so other members can reach you properly.
- Search. Browse by trade, service or location. You are looking through businesses already on Total Tradesmen, not a random public directory.
- Star. Mark the partners you actually work with so the next referral or multi trade job does not mean hunting through notes again.
- Contact. Open a profile and get in touch the way trades already do. Profiles stay behind login. Conversations stay outside the app for now.
When It Helps
Use it when another trade needs to step in. Leave it alone when you do not need a network.
Perfect when
- You need a heating engineer you trust for a referral
- A job needs another trade and you want specialists nearby
- Your office keeps a short list of partners for multi trade work
Not designed for
- Public find a tradesman browsing for homeowners
- Open consumer lead generation directories
- In app messaging between partners
Why Firms Like It
Most multi trade jobs still start with a phone call to someone you trust. Trade Partners keeps that short list inside the same system you already use for jobs, so referrals stay private and practical instead of turning into a public marketplace.
