For trade suppliers

Drainage, pipes and ducting: reach vetted trades near you

Drainage goes in first and gets covered up, so the groundworker laying it wants the right pipe, the right fittings and the inspection chambers on site before the digger arrives. Being the supplier they find at that moment, near the job, is what a listing here does.

List your business

Listing is by application. We check who you are before anything goes live, and we talk you through what a listing costs before you commit to it.

Why Pinnacle exists

Cowboy builders have cost homeowners their savings and good tradespeople their reputation. Most platforms check the company rather than the person behind it, so the ones who turn up and do the work properly get tarred with the same brush.

Pinnacle vets the individual. Our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years helping families rebuild after they were let down, more than 500 of them, sometimes out of his own pocket. That standard is why tradespeople join, and it is why the businesses listed beside them are checked too.

For you that matters in a practical way: every trade reading your listing has been vetted before they got here, on ID, insurance, qualifications and references, and homeowners running projects on Pinnacle see it too. It is a smaller audience than a directory you can buy your way into, and a considerably better qualified one.

Graham's story

Who you would reach

  • Groundworkers and builders laying foul and surface water drainage for extensions and new builds.
  • Plumbers and heating engineers running underground supplies and ducting for services to garden rooms and outbuildings.
  • Landscapers and driveway firms installing land drains, channels and soakaways.

How a listing works

Being listed is being findable, not being sold for. Nobody is sent your details without asking for them.

  1. Apply

    Tell us what you supply, where you are and how far you deliver or travel. It takes a few minutes.

  2. We check you

    Your company registration, your trading history and anything you have told us you hold. A person does this, and rings you to go through it: anything you hold that the form has no box for, a licence, a registration, a scheme membership, is told to us on that call. We come back to you either way.

  3. Your listing goes live

    You appear in the directory under the categories you cover, to anyone searching near you.

  4. They ask for your details

    A vetted tradesperson, or a homeowner running a project here, reads your listing and asks for your contact details. That is the point at which you hear from them.

  5. You take it from there

    The conversation is yours. We do not quote for you, take the order, or add anything to what you charge.

What we check

Your company registration and trading history, the products you supply and how far you deliver. If you tell us you hold a scheme membership or stock to a particular standard, we record it and check it rather than taking it on trust.

Being checked is the point of the directory. A trade choosing a supplier here knows somebody looked, which is not something they can assume anywhere else, and it is why we would rather list fewer businesses properly than many on trust.

More about our checks

What is coming

We record how many times somebody asked for a listed business's details, because that is the figure that means something rather than how many times a page happened to show you.

We are building a view for suppliers that will show you your own. It is not live yet, and we will tell you when it is rather than counting it as a reason to join today.

Homeowners running projects can search the directory too.

Questions trade suppliers ask

Do I get orders through Pinnacle?

No. Whoever finds your listing contacts you directly and the order is yours to take, and in this category that is almost always a vetted trade. We add nothing to your price.

Will groundworkers know I stock a full system?

From your website, which is where the detail lives; the listing carries your categories and a link to it. A groundworker wants pipe, chambers and gullies from one place, so if you carry the lot, make the website say it.

Who is searching for drainage supplies?

Vetted tradespeople, mostly groundworkers, builders and landscapers about to open a trench near you.

We supply plumbing as well. One listing or two?

One listing, several categories. Tick everything you supply and you appear in each of those searches; a plumber running a service duct finds you under either.

Building materials

Plumbing and heating supplies

Plant hire

Ready?

Apply, and we will take it from there.

Applying starts the checks. It is not an instant yes, we tell you where you stand either way, and nothing goes live until you have agreed to it.
