Tradesmen.ie

Tier S · Recommended

Ireland’s largest trade-lead marketplace — homeowners post a job, up to 4 tradesmen bid

An Ireland-native, long-established quote marketplace (the "largest of its kind in Ireland") with 6,000+ active tradesmen and jobs in 180,000+ Irish homes. Homeowners post free; the platform texts/emails interested tradesmen, and the first four who respond within 15 minutes get the customer’s details. It is a pay-per-lead marketplace, not a passive directory.

Pros

+ Genuine Irish-native presence with a large active base (6,000+)
+ Clear lead mechanic (top-4, 15-minute window)
+ Vetting (registration fee + references or recognised qualification)
+ 14-day money-back guarantee

Cons

− Pay-per-lead credit model (you pay to bid even if you don’t win)
− Only the first 4 fast responders get the lead
− Bidding inflates cost on high-value jobs
− Upfront registration fee + prepaid credits before any return

Ireland note

Purpose-built for the Irish market, nationwide. Note this is tradesmen.ie (plural) — distinct from the singular tradesman.ie and from Onlinetradesmen.ie.

Typical Ireland pricing: Pay-per-lead via prepaid credits (min bid scales with job value) + registration fee; exact €/credit not public
