Tradelynx explainer
How Tradelynx works
Tradelynx is built to remove the usual chasing: you submit one request, we route to suitable local traders, and you can follow progress in one clear thread.
Customer request process
- Tell us what you need, when you need it, and where.
- We route your request to suitable verified local traders.
- You receive updates and messages in one place.
- If no one accepts yet, you still get clear status and next-step options.
Trader matching logic
- We check trade fit, area fit, live availability, and account standing.
- Routing is controlled and sequential, not open quote spam.
- Town-by-town controls are used to keep response quality reliable.
What makes Tradelynx different
- One clear routing flow instead of blasting enquiries across large open lists.
- One customer-trader thread from first contact through completion.
- Local launch controls designed to protect response reliability by town and trade.
How Tradelynx makes money (trader side)
- Lead credits are charged when eligible leads are accepted.
- Completion fee is 2% of final job value or £2 minimum, whichever is higher.
- Optional add-ons are priced separately and shown clearly before activation.
If nobody accepts
You will see a clear status: we are still searching for suitable availability. You can keep the request open, adjust timing, or cancel.
Repeat booking
- Rebook previous traders where available.
- Reuse previous request context and property details.
- Maintain a property-linked maintenance history in one record.

How we help keep things fair for customers and traders
- We verify identity and core account details before marketplace access.
- Messages and key job activity are kept together in one clear thread.
- Job status updates are visible so both sides can see what happens next.
- Important history is retained to support fair dispute handling.
- We monitor misuse and can step in when platform rules are broken.
Tradelynx does not guarantee workmanship or pricing, so customers should still use normal judgement before agreeing work.
