About TradePages

TradePages is an independent directory of plumbers, electricians, and locksmiths across South Africa. We aggregate publicly available business information, verify it against multiple sources, and present it in a format that makes it easy to compare tradespeople in your area.

We don't charge businesses to be listed. We don't sell leads. The directory exists to help South Africans find reliable tradespeople without wading through paid ads or sponsored placements.

Business listings are compiled from multiple publicly available sources:

• Google Business Profiles — business details, ratings, and reviews from Google Maps listings.
• IOPSA (Institute of Plumbing South Africa) — registration status and qualification records for plumbers.
• Snupit — additional business listings and service information from the South African trades marketplace.
• Business websites — we visit listed business websites to extract services offered, opening hours, descriptions, and contact details.

Every listing goes through a multi-step verification process before it appears on the site. We cross-reference information across sources, check for active contact details, and apply a quality score that considers:

• Completeness of contact information (phone, email, address)
• Presence of verified reviews from real customers
• IOPSA registration status (for plumbers)
• Active, reachable website
• Consistent information across multiple data sources

Businesses that fall below our quality threshold are excluded from the directory entirely. We'd rather show fewer, more reliable listings than pad out pages with unverified entries.

TradePages is built and maintained by a small team based in South Africa. We combine software engineering, data analysis, and local trade industry knowledge to create a directory that's genuinely useful for homeowners.

Our editorial team reviews data sources, verifies business information, and maintains quality standards across every listing. We've been operating since 2025 and currently cover plumbers, electricians, and locksmiths across all nine provinces.

Listings are ranked by customer ratings and review count. We don't accept payment to boost rankings, feature businesses prominently, or suppress negative reviews. The order you see is determined by the data, not by advertising spend.
