Why KentHub

Independent advice. No hidden agenda.

Most trades directories make their money from the tradespeople they list. That creates an obvious conflict of interest — they can't tell you honestly when a tradesperson is overpriced or poorly reviewed, because that tradesperson is paying them.

KentHub earns nothing from the trades we mention. Our guides are written for homeowners, not for tradespeople. That means you get straight answers on what things cost, what to ask for, and what to walk away from.

  • No paid placements or sponsored listings
  • Price guidance based on real Kent market data
  • Gas Safe verification explained — and why it matters legally
  • Red flag checklist for every trade

Why We're Different

Most trade sites work for the tradespeople. We work for you.

No Paid Listings

We never charge tradespeople to appear on this site. That means our guides and recommendations have no commercial bias — none.

Written for Homeowners

Our guides are written from the buyer's side — what to ask, what's fair to pay, what to walk away from. Not from the trade's perspective.

Real Kent Prices

Every cost guide is based on current Kent market data — not national averages or guesswork. Know what fair looks like before you pick up the phone.

Before You Hire Anyone — Read This First

Five things every Kent homeowner should know before a tradesperson sets foot in their home.

  • Always verify Gas Safe registration before any gas work — it's a legal requirement, not optional
  • Get at least three written quotes for any job over £300
  • Never pay more than 30% upfront for materials — full payment only on satisfactory completion
  • Check whether your job needs building regulations approval — your tradesperson should tell you, but many don't
  • Ask for public liability insurance before work starts — any professional will have it
