How GuildSelect works

Every member was invited. Every profile was written by our team. No anonymous listings — just the UK's most trusted independent craftspeople, presented properly.

For homeowners

Looking for a craftsperson?

1

Search by trade and location

Type the trade you need — carpenter, plumber, electrician, roofer — and your town or postcode. We show GuildSelect members near you.

2

Read a profile written by our team — not the business

This is what makes GuildSelect different. Every profile was researched and written by our editorial team before the tradesperson even knew they were being considered. You're not reading a sales pitch the business wrote about themselves — you're reading an independent account of who they are and what they do.

3

Contact them directly

Call, WhatsApp, or send an enquiry — no booking fee, no platform cut. All contact goes straight to the craftsperson.

For tradespeople

Invited to join? Here's what to expect.

1

We found you through your reputation

GuildSelect doesn't accept applications. We reviewed publicly available data — Google rating, review volume, trading history — and invited you because your numbers already speak for themselves.

2

Your profile is pre-written. One reply publishes it.

We built your editorial profile before reaching out. You don't fill anything in. Reply "Yes" to the invitation email, review your preview, and we publish it. Zero setup time on your end.

3

Optional membership — no obligation

Your profile goes live free. GuildSelect Membership adds priority placement, analytics, and a direct enquiry form. There's no pressure and no deadline.

Common questions

Do I need to create an account to search?

No. Browse GuildSelect profiles and contact craftspeople without registering — no account needed.

Are all the businesses on GuildSelect the same quality?

Every GuildSelect member was individually invited based on three public data criteria: 4.6 stars or above on Google, 30 or more verified reviews, and 3 or more years in business. We also only invite independent operators — no national chains or franchises. See the full Guild Standard →

How do I know the reviews are genuine?

The reviews displayed on GuildSelect profiles are imported directly from Google — a platform with its own robust anti-fraud systems. We don't host our own review system for invited members; we surface reviews that have already stood scrutiny.

I'm a tradesperson — can I apply to join?

GuildSelect is invitation-only — we reach out to people; they don't apply to us. If you meet the Guild Standard and haven't received an invitation, you're welcome to email us at [email protected]. We run invitation cycles regularly and will check your profile against the criteria.
