Built in Warrington, for Warrington.
Why we started a trade directory — and why we do it differently to the big national sites.
One bad roofing quote too many.
Whatsupwarrington started with a leaking roof, three “recommended” contractors, and one very expensive lesson. Finding a tradesperson locally meant scrolling past pay-to-rank listings and hoping for the best — so we set out to build something more honest.
Today, Whatsupwarrington is Warrington’s own directory of electricians, plumbers, roofers and more — every single one personally checked before they are allowed to list.

Listings personally vetted
Make finding a trade in Warrington simple, honest and local.
Vetting over volume
We would rather have fifteen trusted plumbers than fifty unchecked ones. Every listing passes an ID, qualification and insurance check first.
No pay-to-rank listings
Trades are not shown higher because they have paid more. Position is based on fit, ratings and responsiveness.
Genuinely local focus
We only list trades who actively cover Warrington postcodes, so recommendations are relevant to your street.
A directory that behaves like a recommendation from a neighbour.
No paid placements. No “featured” badges for sale. Just tradespeople we would genuinely recommend to a friend in Warrington.
