For trade suppliers
Skip hire: reach vetted trades near you
Every job that opens something up creates waste, and the skip is usually booked in the same week the work starts. That makes you an early call and a repeated one, because a builder who finds a yard that turns up on time stops looking. A listing here puts you in front of them the first time.
List your waste businessListing 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 storyWho you would reach
- Builders and groundworkers clearing muck away on extensions, foundations and driveways, often on a rolling exchange over several weeks.
- Kitchen and bathroom fitters on strip out days, who need one skip at short notice and want it gone quickly.
- General builders and handymen clearing a site before work starts or after it finishes, often at a day's notice.
How a listing works
Being listed is being findable, not being sold for. Nobody is sent your details without asking for them.
Apply
Tell us what you supply, where you are and how far you deliver or travel. It takes a few minutes.
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.
Your listing goes live
You appear in the directory under the categories you cover, to anyone searching near you.
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.
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, and how far you travel. Waste carriage is licensed work, so if you hold a registration we record the number and check it rather than taking your word for it.
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 checksWhat 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 enquiries come through Pinnacle?
No. People find your listing and ring or email you directly. We do not take the booking, quote on your behalf or add anything to what you charge.
Can I say which permits I hold?
On your website, which your listing links to. Road permits and what you can and cannot take are the two things people ask first, so answering them there saves you the call.
Do you check the people contacting me?
Yes, for the trades: every tradesperson goes through our vetting before they become a member, so a trade finding you here has been checked on ID, insurance, qualifications and references. Homeowners running projects here can find you as well, and they are not vetted to that standard, so treat an enquiry from one as you would any other customer.
We do grab hire and clearances too. Does that fit?
Yes. The category covers waste removal generally, so tick it and let your website say what you run; the enquiries follow what people read there rather than the label.

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.
