Tired of cowboy builders?

Now live across the UK. Every tradesperson individually vetted. Every homeowner protected.

I've helped over 500 families rebuild their homes after being ripped off by a cowboy builder. Sometimes out of my own pocket. I know the sleepless nights, the arguments, the money that's just gone.

Good tradespeople have been tarred with the same brush for too long. Every cowboy who takes the money and runs makes it harder for the ones who show up on time and do the job right.

Pinnacle of All Trades is the platform that changes that. Every tradesperson is vetted to the standard I've spent 25 years building: ID, insurance, qualifications, references. Every homeowner treated the way I'd want my own family treated.

For tradespeople

Are you a tradesperson?

Pinnacle vets every member on ID, insurance, qualifications and references, then puts suitable local projects to them. One membership of £150 for your first year, an introductory price, and no commission on the work you win.

For trade suppliers

Do you supply the trade?

Merchants, hire yards, waste and professional services are listed in a directory our vetted tradespeople search, ordered by how near you are to them. They read your listing and ask for your details, or we may introduce you to them by email, and the conversation is yours from there.

Before you hire any builder

Graham's homeowner survival kit

Most building work that goes wrong goes wrong for the same few reasons: money paid before the work is done, nothing agreed in writing, no insurance, no planning permission, or materials only the builder can order. Knowing the basics before you sign is what stops a small problem becoming a lost deposit. Graham has put the checks he walks every family through into one page.

More advice for homeowners

No checklist is foolproof, and neither is any vetting. We check every tradesperson hard, but if a job ever stops feeling right, trust your instincts, run it past this list, and tell us. Because Pinnacle of All Trades sits in the middle, you're never sorting it out on your own.
