What are you looking to improve?

Choose a service and we'll ask a few quick questions about your home.

We've just opened. We're still welcoming and checking specialists, so for some services and areas we may not have anyone to recommend yet. If so, we'll tell you straight away, and you can ask us to email you when we do.

How it works

Three simple steps

  1. Tell us what you need

    Answer a few simple questions about your home and what you're looking to improve.

  2. We find a suitable specialist

    We use your requirements and location to identify an appropriate vetted local company.

  3. They contact you

    The specialist gets in touch to discuss your project and arrange the next step.

How we check specialists

Four checks before we recommend anyone

Every specialist we introduce has passed these checks. We review them regularly and show you when they were last confirmed.

  • Registered company

    We check that businesses are properly registered.

  • Insurance-backed guarantee

    We check that appropriate insurance-backed protection is available for qualifying work.

  • Trade scheme registration

    We check registration with the right trade scheme for the work, including those the law requires.

  • Google rating

    We look for businesses with a Google rating above four stars.

Checks help you start with a properly set-up business. They don't guarantee how a particular job will go, so we'll always encourage you to ask questions and get everything agreed in writing.

How we check specialists

After you get in touch

You'll know who's contacting you, and why

  1. We review your answers

    We match your project and postcode with vetted specialists who cover your area and do the work you need. You choose whether to hear from one, two or three.

  2. We tell you who they are

    We show you each specialist's name and checks, and email them to you, before they get in touch, so you know who to expect.

  3. They contact you

    The specialist calls or emails to talk through your project. Any quote is between you and them.

  4. You decide

    There's no obligation to go ahead. If it isn't right for you, just say so.

Questions

Good questions to ask

Does it cost anything?

No. Our service is free for homeowners. Specialists pay us a fee for introductions.

How many companies will contact me?

You decide: one, two or three. We'll never pass your details to more than the number you choose, and we tell you who they are before they get in touch.

Do I have to go ahead?

No. Talking to a specialist doesn't commit you to anything. Any quote or contract is between you and them.

Who sees my details?

We do, and the specialists we introduce, up to the number you choose and only once you've agreed. If you're only researching, we don't share your details with anyone.

What if I'm not ready yet?

Tell us you're just researching. We'll let you know whether a vetted specialist covers your area, and you choose whether to be put in touch, save your progress, or delete your answers.

Can I use Vetted North if I rent?

We can only put property owners in touch with specialists, because the owner needs to agree to the work. If you rent, your landlord is usually responsible for repairs to things like windows, doors and roofs, so it's worth speaking to them.

Can you help me get a grant?

No. We don't offer grants, and there's nothing to "qualify" for. Be wary of websites and callers that promise free or government-funded improvements in return for your details. How to spot misleading grants and offers.

Tell us about your project

It takes about two minutes. We'll explain exactly what happens before anyone contacts you.
