The free UK job board built for the trade: qualified electricians find a reliable hand, and improvers find the on-site hours that get them qualified.
Every listing shows an honest ECS grade, so you know exactly what someone can legally do on site — install, test, certify — before you ever pick up the phone.
Improver or spark, it takes two minutes. Your ECS grade, your area, what you can do or what you need. No CV faff.
Filter by grade and location. A spark sees instantly whether you can install, test or certify — no wasted calls, no awkward surprises on day one.
Connect and sort the work between you. We never take a cut of your day rate. The board is free — that's the whole point.
Checkatrade helps a homeowner find a tradesman. We do the opposite — we help the trade find each other.
The one thing nobody else does: we tell you what someone can legally do under BS 7671 — install, test, certify — by their ECS grade. No guesswork.
We speak your language — grades, JIB bands, first & second fix, testing. No plumbers, no plasterers, no leads sold to ten people.
You never pay to find work or find a hand. We make our money from partners around the trade — never from your day rate.
Our sister site LearnSparx takes you from Level 1 to the 2391 inspection & testing exam, with a study buddy in your pocket. Learn it there — get placed here.
The board's live — you can add a listing any time. Or just leave your details and we'll email you when sparks or improvers turn up in your area.
