About us
Local, accountable and deliberately small.
Hereford Trades exists because good local tradespeople are hard to find, and the internet has made it harder rather than easier.
Our founder
Scott
I've lived and worked in Herefordshire for most of my life, and I've heard the same story too many times: a homeowner takes a chance on someone they found online, and it goes wrong.
Hereford Trades is my answer to that. I meet every partner we work with, review every enquiry that comes through, and stay contactable while the work is happening. If something isn't right, you call me — not a call centre.
We keep the list short on purpose. It's the only honest way to say the word "trusted" and mean it.
Trusted locally. Managed personally.
Vetting
How a company earns a place on our list.
Insurance & registration
Public liability cover, company details and relevant registrations checked before anyone joins the list.
Accreditations
Gas Safe, NICEIC, MCS, FENSA and trade-body memberships verified for the work they actually carry out.
Verified reviews & references
Real reviews and completed local jobs we can go and look at — not testimonials on their own website.
A conversation in person
We meet every partner. If they're difficult to deal with for us, they'll be difficult for you.
Ongoing review
Partners are scored on how our customers are treated. Standards slip, the introductions stop.
