How We Verify Every Trade

Trust isn't optional. Every tradesperson on HomeSorted goes through our 5-step identity and credentials check before they can accept a single job.

The 5-Step Verification Process

Our Know Your Trade (KYT) process covers identity, insurance, and credentials

Step 1

Photo ID Check

Government-issued photo ID verified against a live selfie. We confirm the person behind the profile is real.

Step 2

Address Verification

Confirmed Irish business or residential address. We know where every trade operates from.

Step 3

Insurance Verification

Public liability insurance confirmed and valid — so you're covered if their work damages your property.

Step 4

Certification Check

Trade-specific credentials verified — RGI for gas, RECI for electrical, Safe Electric, SEAI for energy, and more.

Step 5

Proof of Work

Trades must have 2 verified past jobs confirmed by real homeowners before they’re fully activated.

What Does "Verified" Mean on HomeSorted?

When you see the green Verified badge, it means:

Real identity confirmed with photo ID + selfie
Valid public liability insurance on file
Irish address verified
Trade-specific certifications confirmed
Profile reviewed and approved by our team

Reviews Can Be Faked. We Verify Identity First.

Unlike platforms that rely only on star ratings, HomeSorted verifies identity upfront. Every trade is checked before they appear in the directory — not after something goes wrong.

Trust questions, answered

The things homeowners ask before they let someone into their home.

They can't take a job. Valid public liability insurance is one of the checks every trade must clear before they can accept work through HomeSorted — if it's not valid, they're not eligible.
