To help you choose your home improvement professional we have produced a comprehensive set of guidelines aimed at avoiding some of the pitfalls and mistakes often made in finding the right professional to suit your needs.

Use the links on the left to go to the specific sections of the guide, and download our checklist to help you compare your choices.

Your first hurdle will be to locate a good professional.



Use the HomePro Find a Pro service to help you locate quality professionals in your area. All professionals have been trading at least one year and had legal and financial checks carried out on them. We have also collected previous customer references on many of them and provided a score based on their results.

When a search has been carried out we rank the professionals based on their locality to the postcode that you enter, the relevance of the type of work you require them to do and the level of vetting they have passed.



Use the "Check A Tradesman" service to locate specific tradesman who are members of our association. All professionals have been trading at least one year and had legal and financial checks carried out on them. We have also collected previous customer references on many of them and provided a score based on their results.

To perform a search using this service you need to enter a full or partial company name, along with either with a full or partial town, postcode or phone number. Our search will then try to find the tradesman you have in mind. Alternatively, if you have the tradesman's specific membership ID, enter it in the FTID box.



There are many resources where you can find home improvements contractors but most of these will accept any business prepared to pay a fee - HomePro only accepts contractors that pass our strict vetting criteria.



Use the Quote Me button where available to contact the tradesmen. Fill in the details requested and then submit.  The tradesmen will then contact you accordingly with details of a quote.  When the Quote Me button isn't available use the contact phone number. Don't try to contact every Trade Professional under the sun - most are very busy and will generally put effort into a quotation when they feel they have a good chance of winning it at a fair price. If they know they are tendering against 20 others they will be less likely to be interested. Contacting many Trades Professionals will also take up a lot of your own time!

Our Find A Pro service will offer you a selection of contractors in your area, all of which have proven trading history. We recommend you obtain 3 - 4 contractors and ask them to quote for the work.
