How listings are vetted

  1. 1

    Start from the record

    Every listing begins as a public business record on Google Maps, with an address in the Milton Keynes council area.

  2. 2

    Keep the trades

    Only electricians, plumbers, carpenters and decorators stay, with at least one review. Duplicates are merged.

  3. 3

    Read the website

    Each business's own site says which work it takes on. Those services are ticked on its listing.

  4. 4

    Say when we do not know

    No website to read means "no information yet" on the listing, never a guess.

Every listing starts as a public business record on Google Maps with an address in the Milton Keynes council area. We keep electricians, plumbers, carpenters and painters and decorators that have at least one review and whose record has been updated in the last twelve months, and we place each one in its town by its postcode. Duplicates are merged. Businesses whose trade on Google does not match their work, such as a wholesaler or a window company, are taken out.

We then read each business's own website and tick only the services it names itself, such as rewiring, boiler repairs or fitted wardrobes. Insurance, guarantees, Gas Safe registration and trade memberships are shown as the business states them. We do not check them, so ask to see the certificate or the card.

Owners can claim a listing to correct details or add photos. A person checks every claim. Published by BeClicked Online.

How to choose a tradesperson

Start with the job

Tradespeople do not all take on the same work. One electrician mostly tests and certifies, another fits EV chargers, and a plumber may be a heating engineer first. Each listing here ticks the services the business names on its own website, so check that your job is ticked before you ring. Where a listing reads "no information yet", the website did not say, and a phone call settles it.

Gas and electrics

Only a Gas Safe registered engineer may work on gas appliances. Ask to see the ID card and check the back, which lists the kinds of gas work the engineer is qualified for. For electrics, a new consumer unit, a new circuit or work around a bath or shower is notifiable under the Building Regulations. An electrician registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify it; otherwise building control has to be told before the work starts. Keep every certificate, because a buyer's solicitor may ask for it when you sell.

Water, planning and older homes

Some plumbing work, such as a large bath, certain showers or a pump, must be notified to Anglian Water before it starts. In parts of Olney and Wolverton, painting the outside walls of a house needs planning permission. In older homes, old layers of paint can contain lead, so stripping should avoid dry sanding and blowtorches.

Reading a rating

Every listing shows the Google rating beside the number of reviews behind it. Read the two together. A perfect score from three reviews tells you less than a slightly lower score from a hundred.

Your rights

By law a trader must carry out a service with reasonable care and skill. If the work falls short you can normally ask for it to be put right, or for a price reduction where that is not possible. Work agreed in your home, or by phone or online, usually comes with a 14-day cooling-off period, but if you ask for the work to start sooner and then cancel, you may have to pay for what has been done.

What to ask on the first call

Ask for a written quote that lists the work and the materials. Ask to see the public liability insurance certificate, and for gas work the Gas Safe card. Ask what the guarantee covers and how long it runs, and who deals with any certificates or notifications. Get the answers in writing before you agree to anything.

Frequently asked questions

How are tradespeople listed on Milton Keynes Trades?

Every listing comes from a public business record on Google Maps with an address in the Milton Keynes council area. We keep electricians, plumbers, carpenters and painters and decorators that are open and have reviews, then read each business's own website and tick the services it names.

Does it cost anything to be listed?

No. A basic listing is free and stays free. Businesses can pay for a featured position or a premium listing, and those are marked wherever they appear. Paying never changes a rating.

Why does a listing show an illustration and not the business's own photos?

We do not copy photos from a business's website or Google profile. Until an owner claims the listing and sends their own, the picture is an illustration of the kind of work the business does, and the caption says so.

What does "no information yet" mean on a listing?

It means the business's own website did not say whether it offers that service, or there was no website to read. It does not mean the answer is no. Ring the business and ask.

Does Milton Keynes Trades check Gas Safe registration, insurance or guarantees?

No. A listing shows what the business states about itself. For gas work, ask to see the Gas Safe ID card and check the back. Ask to see the insurance certificate, and get any guarantee in writing, before work starts.

Which areas and trades does the directory cover?

The Milton Keynes council area, including Bletchley, Newport Pagnell, Wolverton, Stony Stratford, Olney, Woburn Sands and the villages, and four trades: electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and painters and decorators.

How do I correct or remove a listing?

Use the contact page and tell us the business name and town. Corrections and removals go live at the next rebuild of the directory, normally within a week.
