Tradie2U: Trades Near You
Live map of trades near you
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Find a tradie on a live map, send the job to one of them, and watch them come. New: My Home, a plan and a record for your place, and a fresh look throughout.
Tradie2U is a live map of tradespeople near you.
Not a directory. Not a form that fires your details off to five companies. A map you open and read in a second — who works in your area, what they do, and who's free now, today or tomorrow.
Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, builders, tilers, painters, roofers, plasterers, landscapers, handymen. Pick the trade, pick how far you'll look, and the map answers the only question that actually matters: can someone come?
HOW IT WORKS
1. Sign up, then open the map. See who covers your area and who's available.
2. Tap a pin — business name, specialties, ratings, what they charge to turn up.
3. Send the job. A few lines and a couple of photos is plenty.
4. It goes to that one tradie, exclusively, with a window to answer. They accept or pass, and you're told either way.
5. Once they accept you get their name, their number, a chat thread and an arrival time. When they're on their way, you can watch them come.
ONE JOB, ONE TRADIE
Your job isn't broadcast to twenty businesses, and nobody buys your details as a lead.
That's deliberate, and it's the reason tradies answer on here — a job in Tradie2U is a real job from someone ready to go, not a coin flip against five other quotes. It's better on your end too: one person coming, instead of a week of calls from companies you never chose.
TRADES HIRE TRADES HERE TOO
This is the other half of Tradie2U, not an afterthought.
Sparkies need plumbers. Builders need chippies at short notice. Everyone needs a hand on the tools when a job blows out or the usual bloke isn't answering. Same map, same request, same one-at-a-time offer — and a tradie can be on both sides of it.
Subbie work and short-notice cover, from trades already working nearby. If you're out of your area and it's 3pm and you need someone today, that's the gap this fills.
FOR TRADIES: YOU DECIDE WHAT ANYONE SEES
Tradie2U is built around not exposing you.
- Three levels of visibility: hidden, area only, or a rough circle around where you're working. Your exact position goes only to a customer you're on your way to, and only if you choose to share it.
- Drop a privacy zone over your house and you fall back to area-only whenever you're home.
- Set your knock-off hours and you come off the map outside them.
- Set how far you'll actually travel, so you're not asked to drive across town.
- Add your licences, registrations and insurance. Other trades see them with a link to the real register; a customer sees your licence numbers on a job you've finished for them.
- Jobs come to you one at a time, with a window sized for someone up a ladder rather than staring at a phone.
WHAT IT COSTS
Nothing. No lead fees, no per-job charge, no subscription. Quotes and payment for the work stay between you and your tradie — Tradie2U doesn't take a cut of the job.
PRIVACY, PLAINLY
A tradie's exact location is never shown on the map. Positions are snapped to a grid before anyone sees them, so the map shows the area someone works in, not where they're standing. The one exception is the customer they're driving to, from the moment they set off, and only if they choose to share it.
Customers see a business name and a rough circle. Nothing else is public.
A tradie only sees your suburb and a rough distance until they accept. Your name, number and address are shared once someone has agreed to come, and not before.
Background location is optional. Say no and you stay on the map — your circle just stops moving.
BUILT HERE, FOR HOW TRADES ACTUALLY WORK
Australian-made, and it knows the difference between an A-Grade licence, an REC registration, an REL and an ARCtick — every credential links back to the issuing register, so it can be checked in about ten seconds. We never claim to have verified a licence. We show you where to confirm it yourself.
Coverage grows wherever tradies join. If you're on the tools, get your pin on the map — that's how your area fills up.
Ratings & Reviews
NEW
- A new tab bar. Find A Trade sits raised in the middle, with My Home (My Trade for tradies), Requests (Jobs), Chats and Alerts either side. Notifications is now Alerts.
- Jobs, Chats and Alerts put what needs you first. A new offer shows the time left to answer as a ring that runs down. A live job shows where it's up to — Accepted, On the way, On site, Done — with the arrival time and one tap to call or message. Chats puts live jobs first, then one row per person. Alerts pins anything waiting on you to the top.
- My Home, for households. Your tradies one tap away with Book again, and shareable with family or neighbours. A record of the work done on your place. Set up your home: a few questions that build a plan of checks, like smoke alarms, safety switches and hot water, with a reminder when each one is due. And "Something gone wrong?": emergency guides by trade.
- My Trade, for tradies. Your page leads with the one thing that matters most right now, and Set up your card walks you through anything missing — logo, rates, licences, insurance — one screen at a time, showing exactly where each answer appears. Share your own booking link, and the customers who use it book you and only you.
- You now need an account to use Tradie2U, and sign-up asks for a mobile number. It is passed on only once a job is accepted, and only to the other side of that job.
- The privacy policy and terms are in Settings.
FIXED
- Signing up as a tradie no longer turns you into a customer after the confirmation email.
- Set up your home picks up where you stopped, instead of starting over.
- Chat previews show the last thing actually said, not a status update.
- Tradies: your position is shared only from the moment you tap On my way, and not at all if you set off without sharing.
