23 trades in the app, from sparkies to cleaners
~500 m the closest you see a tradie before one is on the way to you
15 min for a tradie to answer an urgent job. Then it moves on. No ghosting.
01 — Before you ring anyone

Know what you're dealing with before you ring anyone.

These work wherever you live, even on a street nobody covers yet.

What's wrong, and who to call

Describe it or add a photo. The Tradie2U helper tells you what's likely going on and which trade you need, then writes the job up so the tradie knows what they're walking into. No more Googling "is brown water bad?" at 11pm.

When it's an emergency

Fifteen step-by-step guides for the worst five minutes of your year: a burst pipe, the power out, a smell of gas, a powerline down. What to do first, written calmly, before you need it. Read the guides.

Your home, looked after

Set up My Home once and get a plan for your place: what to check and when, one reminder at a time, and the tradies you've used before, one tap away. A service book for your house.

Built in Melbourne by Nik and Simon. A sparky and a chippie who got sick of waiting too.

02 — How asking works

Ask one. Not ten.

Your job goes to the tradie you picked, and only them, for a set time. No auction. No five callbacks from people you never rang.

The lead-gen way

Your details go to everyone who paid for them. Four tradies ring you during dinner, three of them lose, and everyone's annoyed.

5 tradies contacted · 4 wasted their time

The Tradie2U way

One job, one tradie, held for them alone. If they pass, it moves on to the next tradie nearby or comes back to you. Your job never quietly dies.

1 tradie asked · 15 min to answer

03 — What the map tells you

Three answers. None of them is "leave a message".

Every tradie on the map has already said when they can come. That's the whole product. You stop guessing who's going to pick up.

Now

today

On the tools and able to come straight away.

Today

later on

Free later. Worth asking if it can wait a few hours.

Tomorrow

booked out

Booked out today, open tomorrow. Still sooner than "I'll be there Tuesday".

04 — Who is on it

Sparkies, plumbers, chippies and more. So far.

On the map today: Electrician, Plumber, Tiler, Painter, Carpenter, Builder, Bricklayer, Handyman, Cleaner, Flooring, Caulking and Pressure washing. In the app, waiting on their first tradie: Roofer, Plasterer, Landscaper, Labourer, Concreter, Scaffolder, Air con, Solar, Crane operator, Rigger and Glazier.

We'd rather tell you which trades are live than let you search for a roofer and find tumbleweeds. Electricians came first because that's where we started and where the most tradies are today. Every other trade goes live the day its first tradie joins.

05 — Start to finish

From "no hot water" to someone on the way.

Step 1

Open the map.

See who works around you and whether they are free, before you type a single word about the job. Not sure which trade it is? Ask the helper first.

Step 2

Ask the one you want.

Photos, a line about the job, send. It is held for that tradie alone and they have minutes, not days, to answer. You will know either way.

Step 3

Watch them turn up.

They accept, you get their name and number, and they set an arrival time. Once they're on the way, if they share their location, you watch them coming instead of ringing to ask "how far away are you, mate?"

06 — Why you can believe it

Don't trust us. Check.

Ratings

Five stars from one job isn't five stars from forty.

You rate the tradie and the tradie rates you, only on jobs that actually finished. However many jobs it is built on is printed right next to it, because five stars from one job is not five stars from forty.

The two scores never get averaged together, and neither is a tradie rating another tradie. One is what households thought of the work; the other is what a tradie thought of the job they were sent to.

Licences

We point. We don't vouch.

Once a job is done, the licence numbers of the tradie who did it sit on your record, each beside a link to the register that can confirm it. Ten seconds with the regulator beats a tick we drew ourselves.

Energy Safe Victoria, the Building and Plumbing Commission and ARCtick are wired up today. Outside Victoria a licence still shows with its number, but it will not carry a check link until we have added that state's register.

An expired licence is shown and flagged, never hidden. Hiding one would make a lapsed ticket read as no ticket at all — a decision about somebody's professional standing that we are not entitled to make quietly.

07 — For tradies

On the tools?

Trades built it. Founding trades never pay for it. No leads to buy, no bidding wars, and founding spots are still open.

08 — Where it works

Open everywhere. Honest about where.

Tradie2U started in Melbourne and is open across Australia. The helper, the emergency guides and My Home work wherever you live. The map is thicker where more tradies have joined, and where nobody covers your street yet, the app tells you so rather than leaving you guessing.

Anywhere in the country

Open your map and you see whoever works near you, wherever that is. No waiting for us to launch in your city.

Twelve trades so far

Sparkies, plumbers, tilers, painters, chippies, builders, brickies, handymen and cleaners have tradies on the map today, and so do flooring, caulking and pressure washing. Every other trade goes live the moment somebody joins.

An empty map says so

We're not in every street yet and we won't pretend. Where nobody covers you, the app says so, instead of letting your job sit there like a Tuesday promise.

09 — Straight answers

The questions people actually ask.

What does it cost me?
Nothing. The app is free, for customers and for tradies. What the job costs is between you and the tradie — they quote you directly and you pay them directly, exactly as you would if you had rung them. Tradie2U never takes a payment and never asks for a card.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. It takes about a minute, there is no card, and it is what lets a tradie answer you. A tradie sees your name, number and address only once they have accepted your job.
What if the tradie never gets back to me?
Nobody gets to leave you on read. The offer runs out on its own — 15 minutes if you need someone now, two hours for today, twelve for tomorrow. A job for now or today then moves on to the next matching tradie nearby, one at a time, never all at once. If nobody can take it, or it was for tomorrow, you are told and you pick again. A job you send to your own tradie never moves on: it comes back to you. Either way, it never sits there looking live when nobody is coming.
Is it only electricians?
No. Electricians, plumbers, tilers, painters, carpenters, builders, bricklayers, handymen and cleaners have tradies on the map today, and so do flooring, caulking and pressure washing. Every other trade in the app goes live the moment somebody joins. Whatever you search for, the map shows you who actually covers you rather than a promise.
Can a tradie see exactly where I live?
Not until they have accepted your job. Before that they see your suburb and a rough distance — no name, no phone number, no address. Those appear the moment they say yes, and not a second earlier.
What do customers see of a tradie?
A circle, not a pin on a doorstep. Positions are snapped to a fixed ~500 m grid before they ever leave the server, and distance and radius are measured from that snapped point — so no amount of searching narrows it down. A tradie is on the map only in the work hours they set, and around their home it is a wide area, never their street. The one exception is a job of yours: once the tradie who took it taps "On my way" and chooses to share, you see where they are until they mark the job done, or sooner if the app sees them arrive.
Can I get it now?
Yes, both. It is on the App Store and on Google Play, and every button on this page goes straight to the listing for the phone you are holding. It is free, there is no card to enter, and signing up takes about a minute.

Someone near you can come today.

Open the map and see who. The tradie who said Tuesday can watch.

Free. On the App Store and on Google Play.
