Autumn's the deadline most homeowners don't realise they're working to.

Boiler service, loft insulation, guttering, the jobs that are easy to sort in September become urgent (and pricier) once the weather turns and everyone's calling the same trades at once.

Get ahead of it. Find a vetted tradesperson near you 👇

EV charger installs are up again this year, and it's not slowing down 🔌⚡

More drivers making the switch, more homeowners asking the same question: "who do I actually trust to install this?". That's the bit that trips people up. Not the car, the installer.

Get matched with a vetted EV charger installer in your area, no chasing quotes, no guesswork 👇

It's officially National Home Improvement Month! 🎉

If you've been putting off that job around the house, September is your sign to get moving before the weather turns.

Roofing, boilers, insulation, the lot. Just make sure whoever you hire is actually who they say they are. More on that coming up this month 👀

Andy Burnham's crackdown on cowboy builders confirms something reputable trades have known for years: rogue operators don't just hurt homeowners, they drag the whole industry's reputation down with them.

Every horror story about a vanished contractor or a botched job makes homeowners more cautious about hiring anyone, including the trades who do it properly. That's the real cost of rogue traders. It's not just the individual victims. It's the trust deficit that every honest tradesperson then has to work twice as hard to overcome.

At TradeWatch, this is exactly why we built a platform around vetting and insurance checks from day one. Reputable businesses shouldn't have to compete on a level playing field with people who cut corners and disappear.

The government stepping in with an Approved Code scheme is a sign the problem is bigger than isolated cases. It's structural. And it means platforms doing the vetting work properly are more relevant now, not less.

If you're a trade who does things right, your reputation is your biggest asset. Protect it.

Andy Burnham has just brought national attention to something we've been fighting for years: cowboy builders ripping off homeowners across the UK.

Because let's be honest, we've all heard the horror stories. Deposits taken and never seen again. Half finished extensions. "Tradespeople" who vanish the second something goes wrong.

More than 1 in 4 UK households have been burned by a rogue trader. That's not a rare bad luck story, that's basically a coin flip.

This is exactly why TradeWatch only works with vetted, insured tradespeople. No crossed fingers, no gambling on a stranger from a Facebook group.

Anyone doing commercial EV charger installs, worth a look at this.

We could get you commercial contracts with businesses looking for EV installation. Office blocks, retail parks, industrial units, the kind of jobs that pay a lot more than a single domestic wallbox.

Why it's worth checking out:

→ Bigger ticket jobs. A multi-bay commercial install can bring in serious profit compared to a standard domestic fit, and it keeps your diary full for longer stretches, not just a few hours
→ Leads come straight to you, no bidding wars, no cold calling, no wasting time chasing quotes that go nowhere
→ Commercial clients often need ongoing maintenance and servicing too, so one job can turn into a long term contract
→ Facilities managers and landlords talk to each other. Do a good job on one site and you're often straight in the door for their next one or their mate's building
→ Word of mouth in commercial property moves fast. One solid install and you could be the go to name for a whole portfolio

You're vetted and insured before you ever go near a client, so you're not competing on price with unqualified fitters either.

Commercial EV installation is one of the fastest growing areas in the trade right now.

Office blocks, retail parks, industrial units. Every one of them is a potential job if you've got the skillset.

Here's why it's worth getting into:

→ Demand from businesses is only going one way
→ Grants and incentives mean more commercial jobs are getting greenlit
→ Three-phase, load balancing and multi-bay installs pay more than domestic single points
→ Getting it right first time builds repeat business from landlords and facilities managers

This isn't a side skill anymore. Electricians who can handle commercial EV work, not just domestic wallboxes, are the ones winning the bigger contracts.

That's exactly the kind of work we send through on TradeWatch. Vetted, insured electricians get matched directly with businesses looking for commercial EV installation. No chasing cold leads. No competing on price with unqualified fitters.

If commercial EV is where you want your business to go, get in touch and find out how TradeWatch can get you in front of the right jobs💜
