Who uses us

One firm per trade, per district

BrightNest posts two cards. Each has its own place for your trade, and each place is held by one firm per postcode district.

Permission card · one firm · £200 a month

The main contractor

When a household’s planning permission is approved, or is about to expire, they need someone to build it. The permission card names one firm for that job in each district.

  • Extension builders

    Rear, side and wraparound extensions, the most common householder permission.

  • Loft conversion specialists

    Dormers, mansards and roof-space conversions, reached as soon as the permission is granted.

The permission card has exactly one holder per district. Other trades are not on it.

Welcome card · six to eight trades · £100 a month each

The trades a new home needs

Someone who has just moved in usually has nobody to call yet. The welcome card lists six to eight local trades, one firm for each.

  • Electricians

    Safety checks, rewires and the jobs a survey turned up.

  • Plumbing & heating engineers

    Boilers, radiators and the first leak.

  • Roofers

    Slipped tiles, gutters and flat-roof repairs.

  • Plasterers & decorators

    Making the rooms their own.

  • Carpenters & joiners

    Doors, shelving and fitted storage.

  • Kitchens & bathrooms

    The rooms most people change first.

  • Gardens & landscaping

    Clearing, planting and hard landscaping.

Which trades appear varies by district. A welcome-card place does not include the permission card.
