Tradesman.ie

Tier A · Workable

One of Ireland's largest trades directories — homeowners get up to 3 free quotes from rated tradesmen

Tradesman.ie is one of the largest Irish trades directories, connecting homeowners with rated tradesmen who respond with quotes (up to three free quotes per job). The vendor reports 6,000+ active tradesmen providing quotes daily. It is an Irish-only platform with strong domestic consumer-search presence, complementing MyBuilder.ie and Onlinetradesmen.ie.

Pros

+ One of the largest Irish trades directories (6,000+ active tradesmen)
+ Up-to-3-quotes model drives homeowner demand
+ Strong Irish domestic consumer audience
+ Independent Irish operator

Cons

− Irish-only — no cross-market value
− Shared-lead competition (homeowner gets multiple quotes)
− Lighter vetting than UK Checkatrade
− No publisher affiliate program

Ireland note

Irish-only directory with a quote-request model — homeowners post a job and receive multiple quotes, so tradespeople compete on a shared-lead basis. Strong Irish consumer audience, but expect competition per lead and lighter vetting than UK Checkatrade.

Typical Ireland pricing: Lead/quote-based; varies by trade and job value
