## About

> TradesAround is a directory of vetted UK tradespeople, starting with Oxfordshire. It connects homeowners with local plumbers, electricians, builders, gas engineers and the rest — 25 trade categories in total — through an AI-powered Verified Assessment system that scores each listing automatically against public data.
> 
> That system pulls signals from Companies House, Gas Safe, NICEIC, FENSA and similar registers, layers in sentiment analysis on real reviews, and surfaces a transparency-of-claims score showing how well a tradesperson's own marketing matches the verifiable facts. We don't grant trust — we surface it.
> 
> The problem this is meant to fix is familiar. Big national directories either sell each enquiry as a lead to whichever trade pays most, or charge a flat annual fee for a "trusted trader" badge whose meaning is unclear. Homeowners can't tell who's actually qualified. Sole-trader tradespeople either pay for badges they don't trust or bid against competitors for the same job.
> 
> TradesAround takes a different approach. Profile claims are free for tradespeople, and stay free. We don't charge per lead. We don't sell rankings. Verification runs automatically and continuously, not as a one-off paid certificate.
> 
> We're starting in Oxfordshire because local trust requires local density. A directory with three plumbers in Witney isn't useful; it's a list. The first twelve weeks are about getting profiles claimed, building out category and town pages, and listening to what people actually need.
> 
> The site is at tradesaround.com. Tradespeople in Oxfordshire can claim profiles now; homeowners can search by trade and town.
