Tradesmen are the same as other professions, there are bad ones and good ones.
The best way to source a good tradie is by ‘word of mouth’.
Getting a recommendation from a trusted friend or colleague is invaluable.
I am an electrical contractor, I’ve been working for myself for over 3 years and haven’t advertised once.
All of my work comes from recommendations from satisfied clients.
I am always busy and need to put someone on to keep up.

See how you go,
