Web Tradespeople Provider Launches Free 24-Hour Service

A web company has launched a 24-hour on-line match-making system directing householders to quality tradespeople nationwide.

With the majority of homeowners and businesses turning to the internet for their DIY and maintenance needs, tradespeople can tap into the WeDoTrades site to develop their on-line presence and profile.

The site provides a directory of over 100,000 plumbers, electricians and builders, with premier customers receiving a package that includes their own web page, video blogs, customer testimonials and telephone number with call recording services.

Property owners can access help by either logging onto the 24-hour service or calling locally operated telephone numbers which, unlike other directories that can cost up to 60p a minute on landline numbers – and even more on mobile phones – are free of charge. In an emergency, the service commits to finding a tradesperson for the job within an hour.

Becky Hyland, co-founder at WeDoTrades said, “Over 70 per cent of households in the UK now have internet access. To really build your business, especially in the current climate, it’s vital for tradespeople to harness the benefits of an online presence.

“Consumers need to feel reassured about who they let into their homes and WeDoTrades’ premier package enables businesses to really sell themselves. Don’t lose out to your more web-savvy competitors – we can get you into customers’ homes before you even price up a quote!”

WeDoTrades, now 40-strong, was founded in a bedroom three years ago by Becky Hyland, a frustrated former student, who had set up a business renovating homes and was unable to quickly source quality plumbers and electricians to carry out the work.

Ms Hyland linked up with WeDoTrades co-founders, husband and wife team Paul and Diane Lynch, who encountered the same challenges in the property management sector.
