Print Directories Are Dead; Long Live UKTradeStreet!

With more people than ever before using search engines to find local businesses, and with tradesmen generally not having their own websites, portals such as UKTradeStreet.com have become the new way to find reliable and trusted local tradespeople. Whether you want to find a carpenter, builder or bathroom fitter in your area, UKTradeStreet is your one-stop online resource. UKTradeStreet.com and similar websites listing approved tradespeople are sounding the death knell of old-style print directories. Take, for instance, what used to happen if you wanted to get a carpenters quote. There was a time when your first port of call would have been the hefty local print directory languishing under the sink or at the back of a cupboard. You would look up ‘carpenters’ and start calling around each one listed for your local area to try and get a quote for your job. The process could take a while: waiting for people to call you back, ploughing through the list trying to get someone who could provide a decent quote and be available to complete the job when you needed it done. You were then at the mercy of this carpenter, hoping that he would in fact turn up and do a good job for a fair price, with no way of knowing whether you had stumbled upon the local carpenter cowboy. Online resources for tradesmen and carpenters such as UKTradeStreet.com are a breeze in comparison, and – more importantly – give you access to only approved carpenters and tradesmen of all types. Being able to choose from recommended carpenters who fit your criteria in terms of budget and timeframe means you are far more likely to be happy with the final job. A simple and free online registration at UKTradeStreet.com, which only takes a couple of minutes, means you can then post jobs online whenever you need a carpenters quote or have any job that needs doing on your property. The bids for the job will then simply come into your inbox, allowing you to choose the rated trades carpenter (or other tradesperson) that’s right for your job, all massively expediting the process. With a quick and easy service like that, it will be little surprise if the massive local phone books soon become a thing of the past.
