Tips for winning jobs
Each homeowner is as different as each tradesperson is; so there is no “magic formula” that works for every quote. To help increase the chances that a prospective homeowner will consider your quote, here are some things we suggest you practice:
Read the job description thoroughly.
Take the time to go through the job description. If the homeowner feels that you do not understand the job enough, you are not likely to make the shortlist.
Keep your quote clear and concise.
Homeowners may have dozens of quotes to consider. Make your quote short but meaty.
Suggest Milestones payment.
One of the ways to showcase your professionalism and prove to the homeowner that you are serious about their jobs is by listing down 3-5 milestones in your quotes.
Be competitive with your pricing.
Being competitive does not necessarily mean quoting a low price. If you are relatively new to our platform, you may need to establish a reputation first. However, if your work is really above average, price it accurately. Some homeowners are willing to pay for quality.
Do not oversell yourself.
A bit of self-confidence is a good thing, but over claiming is not likely to impress anyone. Being truthful about your capabilities and skills will get you much further than much hype.
Proofread your quote before you submit it.
Irrespective of what kind of job you are quoting on, a poorly written proposal entails lacking attention to details and poor work quality, neither of which is going to work in your favour. After submitting your quote, we encourage implementing the following practices to improve further your chances of winning jobs:
Upload previous work samples to your portfolio.
Quality, not quantity, is usually the rule of thumb when uploading examples of your work on your portfolio. Make sure that your samples are relevant for the job and that they represent your best work.
Request feedback /external references.
Always request feedback after job completion as it will help you get a future job. If you have not yet received any feedback, we suggest you ask external references from your previous work. Once approved, they will be available to potential clients.
Let your Qualifications speak for you.
Stand out by listing any trade qualifications, accreditations, experience, relevant courses and membership of any trade bodies you may have attended.
List your Public Insurance.
Let the customer see that you are covered by listing any professional public insúrance that you might have.
Try to respond promptly when the customer contacts you.
Most homeowners award jobs within the first 24 hours of posting. So make sure to keep yourself available to answer.
Responding to a job offer
After receiving quotes, a homeowner at any time may award the job, and if you´ve been offered the post, we will notify by email, SMS and news feed.
Whether it is a work you have placed a quote on or a direct job offer, you have 24 hours to either accept or reject the award.
How do you accept or reject or reject a job offer?
You can accept an awarded job via the following:
- The email notification
- The news feed notification
- The job page
Failure to respond to the job award within the 24 hours window will automatically revoke it. Rejecting an offer affects your reputation as it gives the homeowners the impression that you are quoting a job you´re not capable of completing. We recommend that you only quote on posts that you can commit to complete.
What is a direct job offer?
Instead of posting a job for everyone to provide a quote, a homeowner can go to find tradespeople page or category, search for a tradesperson in their area and hire those they would like to work with immediately. If a customer offers you a direct job, you will receive an email notification or a text message.
Do I have to respond to a direct job?
You have the option to either accept or decline a direct job offer. To reject an offer, you need to state the reason for doing so, and we will notify the customer.
Can homeowner resent the direct offer after I have reject the initial offer?

Protected payment
Protected payments is a safe and secure way to get paid using our milestone payment system, for the work you have done through our platform.
Milestone payment system
When taking up a trade job, there are several crucial criteria to consider. Arguably the most important is when and where payments should be made. There can often be a difference in preference of payment between you and the homeowner. You may prefer to be paid in advance or on acceptance of work, whereas a homeowner may feel more comfortable paying after the job is complete.
The TradespeopleHub milestone payment system is established to manage both you and the customer's intention and to create a safe earth for the payment of the work you've done.
Why should I use the milestone payment system?
- As a tradesperson, the milestone creation and release is a significant benefit which allows you to work without burden by knowing your payment is in the hands of a trusted third party. As many homeowners also prefer to pay after a job is completed, this gives you and them peace of mind when it comes to payment.
- Issuing paper invoices to the customer becomes a hassle of the past as our system automatically generates invoices for them when they created and released milestone payment.
- Our dispute resolution centre deals with jobs that were paid with milestone payment. Therefore, every payment should be made from the site so that we can retrieve the data on transactions and work deliveries to ascertain who wrongs. Nonetheless, work done in private means may not win a resolution in the case of a dispute from our centre.
How can I protect myself against fraudulent customers that don't want to pay for their job?
We recommend using our milestone payment in any work taken on our platform as this gives you optimum protection.
When is the milestone payment created?
It is created by the homeowner when or after awarding a job. If this is not done, to be on the safest side, then request a milestone from your end.
Does it mean I have been paid when the customer creates a milestone payment?
Yes, it means that you have been paid in advance for work you have not yet completed. The fund is however held in safe hands (FSCS protected ring-fenced account provided by Natwest in the UK) and that the money becomes yours entirely when the customer releases it upon completion of the job.
Milestone payment created is the same as a payment made in advance for the work or task that you have not yet completed.
What happens if the homeowner does not create a milestone?
If the homeowner did not create a milestone and you want to receive your money using our platform and feel secure in receiving your payment, then all you have to do is request a milestone by clicking the 'request a milestone' button on the job payment page.
How do I request a milestone?
Go to job payment and click the request milestone.
Can I view the milestone payment for a job?
Yes, once the milestone is created, you will be able to view the money in the payment section of the job.
When is the milestone payment released?
Once the job or task is completed, the homeowner will release the milestone, and the held money becomes yours entirely. From there, the funds can be transferred to your bank account or Paypal.
How do I request a milestone payment release?
To request a milestone release, you can either ask the homeowner after work completion or use our site to make the request. In your account, on the job payment page, click on the 'request milestone release.
Can I have the invoice of the milestone payment released to me?
Yes, every Milestone Payment that is released has its invoice that can be viewed and downloaded from the job page.
Do I have to issue an invoice to the homeowner for the milestone payment?
Invoice is being generated for the homeowner to view and download upon creating and releasing a milestone payment to you.
Suggested milestone payments
For high budget projects, you may need payment done in completion of bits on the job to sustain yourself in the duration of working on the project. The suggested milestones payment is also ideal for the homeowners who may also not feel comfortable in creating a milestone for the whole budget without being sure whether they will get satisfying results of the work done.
To achieve this, we have integrated suggested milestones in our quoting feature as the best way to showcase your professionalism and prove to the homeowner that you are serious about getting the job done
Our suggested milestone enables you to suggest in your quote how you want your payment to be made. For example, if you have quoted £3000 for a work that will be done in 5 days and want to receive £1000 every two days or upon completing a task, you can use our Suggested Milestone payment function to propose that.
What can the suggested milestone use for?
Homeowners like professional quotes so use our suggested milestone payment feature to professionalise your quote and win a job.
How do I suggest milestones in my quote?
After explaining your quote, click add suggested milestone, add amounts together with the durations. You can only suggest ten milestones, and the total value of these milestones must be equal to your quoted budget
Milestone payment dispute
If a situation ever arises where a homeowner, after creating a milestone has changed their mind on doing the job when you have entirely accepted and committed to it, then the issue can be resolved using our Milestone Dispute System. The system is designed to be fair, neutral and to provide both parties with a satisfactory result. Read more about our dispute resolution policy.
What happens if the work is complete to a high standard, and the homeowner tries not to release the milestone?
Try and resolve the dispute directly with the homeowner in the first instance. If you cannot solve it this way, our milestone payment system has a disputes process designed to help you come to a resolution. Either you or the homeowner can raise a dispute
Fund withdrawal
When you're ready to withdraw the funds for the first time, we will ask you for your bank account or Paypal details. Once you've withdrawn your funds, they'll arrive in your nominated bank account, usually within one business day.
How do I withdraw my money?

Building quality feedback and 5-stars rating can help you stay competitive and win more work.
