Glazing, windows and doors: reach vetted trades near you

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 arrow_forward

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 We do not quote for you, take the order, or add anything to what you charge.

Your company registration and trading history, the products you list and how far you travel. If you tell us you hold a scheme membership or approved fabricator status for the systems you make, 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 arrow_forward

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.

Do you take a cut of what I sell?expand_more

No. Nothing sold through a contact made here is commissionable, and we are not part of the sale. A tradesperson finds your listing, contacts you, and the rest is yours.

Can I list supply and fit?expand_more

This listing is for the supply. If you also fit windows as a tradesperson in your own right, that is a separate registration on the tradesperson side; glaziers and window fitters are both trades Pinnacle vets.

Who searches for glazing?expand_more

Vetted tradespeople, usually builders and fitters with a job already under way near you that needs glass, and homeowners replacing windows on a project they are running themselves.

Is it worth listing if most of my customers are the public?expand_more

That depends on whether you want trade customers. The people searching here are vetted tradespeople buying for homeowner jobs, and homeowners running projects of their own, so if you supply either market already, this is where the ones near you are looking.
