UK Built by a fitter, for the whole trade

One job. Five trades. One quote.

A kitchen isn't one trade. TradeFirst lets the joiner, plumber, electrician, tiler and plasterer quote as one team — every one of them named, so you know exactly who's turning up.

02How a quote comes together

Watch a kitchen
come together.

  1. 01

    A homeowner posts the job

    Photos and a few words. Trades see the area, not the address.

  2. 02

    A main contractor takes it on

    The joiner leads the job and builds the team inside the app.

  3. 03

    They bring the subs they trust

    Plumber, electrician, tiler, plasterer — each one prices their own part.

  4. 04

    It rolls into one quote

    One price for the whole job, set out in stages, with VAT shown.

  5. 05

    Every name on it

    The homeowner sees exactly who's coming. Subs who weren't picked hear straight away.

06Why we built it

A kitchen isn't one trade. It's a joiner, a plumber, an electrician, a tiler and a plasterer. Lead sites sell it to one of them. We built the app that doesn't.
