How It Works – Local Postcode Directory

Printed directories once had their charm, but important listings were often buried, and bigbudget ads dominated. That’s why we created a fair, modern, postcode-based alternative — designed to serve homeowners, tradespeople, and local businesses equally within their local communities.

What Areas Are Covered?

Local Postcode Directory currently supports:

  • Malvern – WR13 & WR14
  • Worcester – WR1 to WR8

Homeowners connect only with trades and businesses within their postcode area, meaning
faster responses, more local accountability, and local jobs for local people.

Step-by-Step: How It Works

For Homeowners:

  1. Enter your postcode and select the service you need.
  2. A map will display the nearest trusted trades or businesses, giving those closest to
    you a fair chance to appear at the top.
  3. You can choose up to three professionals to request quotes from.
  4. All initial communication takes place via our secure built-in messaging portal — no
    need to hand over your contact details upfront.

For Trades & Local Businesses:

Business can sign up for free for the basic package or for just £7.50 /week get a premium listing with all the below featues .
