The Solution

Built for trades who do block and estate work properly

ProperHub™ is not a consumer leads marketplace. Jobs come from RMC directors, RTM companies, freehold estate directors, and managing agents who need qualified trades for communal repairs, compliance, and planned works on blocks and estates.

  • Scoped jobs, not tyre-kickers

    Directors post structured scopes with photos and urgency. You quote on real block and estate work.

  • You set the price

    Submit competitive quotes; clients choose on price, ratings, and availability — without an agent markup.

  • Vetting that protects your reputation

    Qualification and insurance checks keep cowboys out. Being on the hub signals you do block and estate work properly.

  • Guarantee-backed delivery

    Residentive stands behind hub work for 12 months — quality professionals stay on the platform.

Steps

How joining works

From first application to paid invoice — a straight path onto the ProperHub™ network for block and estate work.

  1. 01

    Apply

    Share your trade, postcode coverage, and key certifications (Gas Safe, NICEIC, etc.). Use the form below — we respond within a few working days.

  2. 02

    Vetting

    Identity, qualifications, insurance, and references are checked. Pass and you complete one supervised trial job so we see your standard on site.

  3. 03

    Go live

    Your profile, service area, and trade badges go on the hub. Job alerts land for scoped work on blocks and estates in your patch.

  4. 04

    Win & deliver

    Quote on real jobs, get awarded work, and finish with invoices on the live ledger. Booking fee applies only when you win — never to browse or quote.

Key points

Simple economics

No monthly membership

There is no standing fee to join the ProperHub™ trades network. You apply, pass vetting, and go live when you are ready.

Fee only when you win

The booking fee is 8–12% of job value depending on size — charged only when you are awarded the work, not to register or submit quotes.

You set your rates

Quote your own prices and compete on merit. Clients choose on price, availability, and ratings — without an agent markup on top of your number.

Client pays what you quoted

The block or estate pays the price you quoted. You are not asked to discount twice so an agent can take a hidden margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Applying, vetting, fees, and who posts jobs on ProperHub™.

Who posts the jobs?

RMC directors, RTM companies, freehold estate directors, and managing agents using Residentive — blocks and estates that want open-book procurement instead of opaque agent markups.

What trades do you accept?

Plumbing, electrical, gas, general building, carpentry, roofing, plastering, painting and decorating, cleaning, gardening, pest control, locksmiths, and related trades. All applicants must hold appropriate qualifications and insurance for the work they quote on.

What does vetting involve?

Background checks, trade qualification verification, insurance confirmation, reference checks, and a supervised trial job. We verify Gas Safe, NICEIC, and other relevant registrations where applicable.

When do I pay the booking fee?

Only when you are awarded a job — not to register, browse, or submit quotes. The fee is 8–12% of the job value depending on size.

Can I keep my existing clients?

Yes. ProperHub™ adds block and estate work alongside your current pipeline. You can also invite blocks and estates you already serve to post jobs through the platform.
