    The record we build

    Our 5-step verification process

    Each trade passes every stage before their profile goes live to homeowners.

    1. 01

      Identity verification

      Government-issued ID is checked to confirm the person behind the business is who they say they are — no anonymous listings.

      Government-issued ID
      Identity verified
    2. 02

      Public liability insurance

      We confirm valid public liability cover before a trade can quote, so homeowners are protected if something goes wrong on site.

      Cover confirmed
    3. 03

      Qualifications & accreditations

      Relevant trade qualifications, competent-person scheme membership and industry accreditations are checked against the work a trade offers.

      Accreditations checked
    4. 04

      References & work history

      We review past projects and speak to recent customers where needed, so a track record — not marketing — earns a place.

      Ongoing monitoring

      Profiles are regularly checked to keep standards high — two-way reviews, document expiry reminders and manual oversight after approval, not just at sign-up.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long does trade verification take?+

    Verification begins once a trade has supplied the required information and documents. Every check is reviewed manually, so we prioritise accuracy over speed.

    Does verification cost the trade anything?+

    No. Joining and verification are part of the free core platform. See the pricing page for the commission applied after completed paid work.

    What happens if a trade's insurance expires?+

    ProGrafter tracks document expiry and sends reminders in advance. Cover must be kept current to remain verified on the platform.

    Is a verified badge a guarantee of quality?+

    Verification confirms identity, insurance, qualifications and history — a strong foundation of trust. Ongoing two-way reviews then reflect real-world performance on every job.
