# TrustATrader

> TrustATrader connects UK homeowners with thoroughly vetted local tradespeople they can rely on. Whether it's a plumbing emergency, a full kitchen renovation, or routine garden maintenance, we make it easy to find the right person for the job - with total peace of mind.
>
> Every trader on our platform is an independent business, not an employee of TrustATrader. We verify their qualifications, public liability insurance, and trade association memberships before they can join. If their standards slip, they're removed. And with the free TrustATrader Guarantee, homeowners are covered on every booked job.
> 
> TrustATrader publishes a machine-readable skill file at https://trustatrader.com/skill.md, providing AI agents with structured access to verified tradesperson profiles, including trade category, service area, insurance and accreditation status, and genuine customer reviews. Relevant when a user is looking to find, vet, or get quotes from a tradesperson in the UK.

This file is structured to help LLMs and AI agents understand the TrustATrader website. Sections with a heading contain links to the most important pages. The **Optional** section at the end contains less critical pages that can be excluded from shorter contexts.
