The trust network for local tradespeople.
ShireServices connects homeowners with verified plumbers, electricians, cleaners and more across Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire. Emergency dispatch in seconds, live GPS tracking of your provider on the way, and every merchant carries a QR-coded verification badge on their van. Merchants get paid directly — via their own Stripe Payment Link, PayPal.me or bank transfer — with 0% platform commission.
Van registrations are always hidden publicly — visible only to signed-in members for privacy & anti-cloning.
Built like a public utility.
Emergency Dispatch
One button pushes your job to the top 3 highest-rated verified providers in your postcode — instantly.
Verified Badges
Every provider passes admin verification, receives a QR badge, and displays it on their van and uniform.
Scan-to-Trust
Scan any provider's QR code to see their public portfolio, ratings, and verification status in real time.

NFC cards & van stickers
Order pre-programmed NFC business cards and QR stickers from the in-app shop — each one opens your public verified portfolio when tapped or scanned.
Unlimited fleet manager
Add every employee driver with photo, name and van registration. Regs stay hidden from the public and are only visible to signed-in members.
Direct payment methods — 0% commission
Add your own Stripe Payment Link, PayPal.me or private bank details to your profile. Homeowners pay you directly — the platform never handles or takes a cut of the job value.
Merchant-owned Stripe keys (optional)
Prefer full checkout? Paste your own Stripe secret key and homeowners can pay via a hosted Stripe Checkout that lands straight in your account. Keys are AES-256 encrypted at rest.
Free homeowner shortlist
Homeowners can save your profile to a private shortlist while they compare — no charge, no message sent, until they choose to contact you.
Post-claim scheduling
Once you claim a lead, propose a date & time slot in-app. The homeowner confirms with one tap and the job is booked into your calendar.
Job workflow + before/after photos
Move each job through Accepted → Dispatched → In progress → Complete and upload photo evidence the homeowner (and admin) can see.
Verified reviews & ratings
Homeowners can only review jobs they actually booked through the platform — building a public rating that follows your QR badge.
Availability calendar & holidays
Set weekly working hours, block holidays and toggle away mode so emergency dispatch only pings you when you're actually working.
In-app job chat
Message the homeowner directly on every claimed lead — no phone numbers exposed until you're both ready.
Printable certificate + van logo pack
One-click PDF certificate, A4 verification pack, and a downloadable transparent logo ready for your van sign-writer.
Live tracking link for customers
Every job gets a public tracking URL your customer can open — showing status, ETA and completion photos in real time.
Broadcast your GPS on jobs
One-tap ‘On my way’ shares your live location with the homeowner and the public tracking link — stops automatically when the job completes.
Fleet GPS for employees
Every driver in your fleet manager can broadcast their van’s live position from their phone, so you can see the whole team on one map.
