Tickover Trade

Planned work, booked weeks ahead.

Tickover homeowners run a maintenance calendar — boiler services, annual checks, gutter clears — all scheduled in advance. Those jobs come to you pre-briefed and pre-scheduled, with the make, model, photos and preferred dates already filled in. You plan your week like a professional, not a first-responder. Free for your first three months.

THE JOB BOOK FOR UK TRADES Tickover Trade is built for sole traders and small firms — plumbers, gas engineers, electricians, appliance engineers and handypeople. A steady feed of scheduled local jobs matched to your skills and postcode, 30-second quoting, mark-as-you-go job tracking, and a verified work history that travels with you.

SCHEDULED WORK, NOT EMERGENCY CALLOUTS Most Tickover jobs are planned weeks or months ahead — a boiler service in November, gutters in October, an annual check before winter. You see them coming, price them properly, and fill your diary without scrambling. Every job lands with photos, make, model and preferred dates already attached.

NO LEAD FEES, EVER You never pay to see a job or send a quote. No buying leads, no per-job cut, no lock-in. Free for your first three months, then £49 a month — and any month with no jobs to quote on is free. Cancel any time.

SET YOUR PATCH Pick the trade categories and travel radius you cover. Matching jobs start landing in your feed weeks before the work is due.

GET VETTED, GET TRUSTED Gas Safe, NICEIC, public-liability insurance and ID — verified by a human, with two recent customers called. Approvals usually within 48 hours. Vetted trades win more work and command better rates.

QUOTE, FIT, GET PAID Send a quote in 30 seconds, mark the job started when you arrive and complete when you leave. Stripe pays you out within three working days. Optional Tickover Pro turns a photo and a few words into an itemised quote and a VAT-split invoice.

A RECORD THAT TRAVELS WITH YOU Every completed job builds your verified history — work, photos and mutual reviews — and it stays yours, on or off the platform.

Tickover Trade is invite-only at the founding-cohort stage, currently in London with more UK areas coming soon.
