Lead & Trade guide
How Lead & Trade protects homeowner privacy
How privacy-safe job previews work and when contact details are shared.
Edited by Lead & Trade using general UK hiring, quoting and platform privacy guidance. This is practical guidance, not legal advice or a guarantee of workmanship.
Job previews are privacy-safe
Trades first see job details such as trade, job type, rough area, urgency, budget and job detail strength. Contact details are not shown in cold previews.
Contact details are controlled
Your phone number, email, full name and full address are never shown in the public job preview. They are only shared after the approved contact or unlock step.
No fake trust badges
We do not add fake reviews, fake contractor numbers or fake verification badges. Verification labels are only shown when checks are genuinely complete.
Practical checklist
- Write down the job scope, access notes, timing and budget range before asking for quotes.
- Keep your messages, photos, quote changes and payment notes in one place.
- Ask for written details where the work involves safety, certification, specialist materials or staged payments.
- Use Lead & Trade privacy-safe job posting so your full contact details are not public.
