Website for Decorators in minutes
Get found by local customers searching for decorating work online. Set up a professional profile in minutes with no technical knowledge required.
What the work involves
Decorators specialise in applying decorative finishes to interior and exterior surfaces — from standard emulsion and satinwood to specialist wallpapers, Venetian plaster, textured coatings, and complex paint effects. Common jobs include full room decoration, period property restoration, wallpaper hanging, and exterior property refresh.
Qualifications and accreditations
PDA (Painting and Decorating Association) membership is the main professional credential — PDA decorators are vetted and required to hold public liability insurance. For specialist finishes, ask whether the decorator has completed manufacturer training.
Frequently asked questions
How much does TradrLink cost?
You can build and preview your full profile for free - no payment required to get started. Publishing your listing to go live and unlocking all the tools (your public business page, customer reviews, quote management, and invoicing) requires a paid subscription. Plans start from £9.99/month with no long-term contract.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No. TradrLink has no long-term contracts and no minimum commitment. You can cancel, pause, or delete your profile at any time - no notice period, no questions asked.
How quickly will I start getting enquiries?
A complete profile - with photos, a clear description, your service areas, and at least a few customer reviews - typically starts appearing in local search results within days of setup. The more reviews you collect, the higher you'll rank.
What's included in a published TradrLink profile?
A published TradrLink profile gives you everything you need for a professional online presence. That includes: a public business page with your photos, services, and contact details; a shareable review link so customers can leave feedback in seconds; and the built-in quote and invoice tool. Publish whenever you're ready — no contract required.
How do I collect reviews from customers?
Every TradrLink profile has a unique review link. After finishing a job, send it to your customer by text or WhatsApp and they can leave a review in under a minute. Asking consistently after every job is the fastest way to build your reputation.
Can I list more than one trade or cover multiple areas?
Yes. You can add multiple trade categories and service areas to your profile so you appear in searches across all the types of work you do and the locations you cover.
How is TradrLink different from Checkatrade or MyBuilder?
Unlike Checkatrade's £100-500+/month subscription or MyBuilder's per-lead credit system, TradrLink lets you preview your full profile before committing. Once published, you pay a simple monthly fee with no long-term contract. Customers contact you directly through your permanent professional profile - no competing against other tradespeople for the same lead.
Common questions from customers
Can a decorator hang all types of wallpaper?
Most professional decorators can hang standard wallpapers, but specialty materials — such as grasscloth, silk, or heavy embossed papers — require additional experience. Always ask whether the decorator has hung your specific wallpaper type before, and request to see photos of previous installations.
Do I need to provide my own paint and wallpaper?
Most decorators are happy to supply materials and will include the cost in their quote, often with a trade discount applied. Some clients prefer to choose and supply their own materials, which is also fine — just confirm the arrangement before work begins so there are no misunderstandings.
How do I prepare my home before a decorator arrives?
Move or cover furniture, remove pictures and curtain poles, and clear access to the surfaces being decorated. Your decorator will typically do the preparation work (filling, sanding, masking) as part of the job, but a clear workspace saves time and reduces the risk of accidental damage to your belongings.
