About South London Trades

Our Mission

South London Trades exists to make finding reliable local tradespeople straightforward. We connect homeowners across South London with trusted builders, electricians, plumbers, and other professionals -- cutting through the noise of national directories that bury local results.

What We Do

We run a programmatic directory covering 28 South London areas and 15trade categories. Every combination of area and service has its own dedicated page, making it easy for homeowners to find the right tradesperson in their specific neighbourhood -- whether that's a plumber in Peckham or an electrician in Dulwich.

How Listings Work

Listings on the directory come from two sources:

• Google Maps data: we source business information from Google Maps and apply quality filters. Only businesses rated 3 stars or higher with at least 3 reviews are included.
• Direct applications: tradespeople can apply for a featured listing, which is paid, through our listing form. We review every application before publishing.

Filtering on rating and reviews means every business meets a minimum quality threshold. It is not a guarantee: we are a directory, not a trade, and we do not hold insurance or qualification documents for listed businesses. Before work starts, confirm cover and any statutory registration -- such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrical work -- directly with the tradesperson.

Featured Listings

Tradespeople who want to stand out can pay for a featured listing. Featured businesses get priority placement above standard listings, a featured badge, a dofollow backlink to their website, years of experience displayed, a full untruncated description, a direct call button on area pages, and quote requests made on their own profile page sent straight to them. Featured listings cost £29 per month with no long-term contract, and are labelled as paid placement wherever they appear.
