What the CORGI Trade Badge Says About You
Fully vetted and insured
Trusted by homeowners nationwide
Backed by CORGI – a name that stands for safety, knowledge, and dependability
Why join CORGI Trade?
CORGI Trade Approved means fully vetted professionals. It is a nationally recognised badge of quality and dependability. As part of the CORGI Trade network, you represent local, trusted, safetyfirst service.
Your approval tells customers that you meet the highest standards for insurance, qualifications, and professionalism.
It shows that you're more than capable – you're CORGI approved. That makes you part of a legacy known across the UK for making homes safer and more comfortable.
How your Membership Works
As an installer, you're looking to do the best for your company. And that's where we're here to help. One membership, no monthly costs, and real jobs sent straight to you. CORGI Trade is here to support you, so here's how your CORGI Trade membership works:
- Membership Costs
- What trades are you recruiting for?
- Required qualifications
- What happens after submitting your application?
- How does payment work?
Becoming a CORGI Trade Approved installer is completely free.
Instead of a monthly membership fee, CORGI Trade will take a small 5% comission from any jobs we provide to you.
That comission is taken only once work is completed, and will be taken from within the platform. You don't need to worry about invoicing, we'll arrange it all.
We're recruiting for all trades. Whether you're a plumber, painter, gas engineer, fireplace fitter, we'd love you on the network.
CORGI Trade is there to support homeowners finding trusted installers, and we support installers by offering them real, qualified leads. Regardless of what trade.
Our network is built on trusted, qualified installers, so we do check certifications.
As standard, you must:
- Obtain Public Liability insurance in excess of £2million
- Be Gas Safe Registered (or equivalent - HETAS, NICEIC, NAPIT)
- Have no Health and Safety Notices
If you apply to CORGI Trade without the above, we will not be able to accept you.
To apply, you'll need to tell us:
- Your name
- Your company name
- Gas Safe Register number
- Attach evidence of alternative memberships
- A PDF of your Public Liability Insurance (that's in excess of £2million)
- Contact details for you
Once received, we aim to review your application within 48 hours. We'll check your Gas Safe number, insurance, memberships, and your company on the Health and Safety Register.
If we have any questions, we'll email you for more information.
If you're application is all correct, you'll receive an email inviting you to join the platform.
Please login, and finish any onboarding required. When a job becomes available, you'll be notified both via the platform and by email.
Everything is done inside the CORGI Trade platform.
Once you've accepted a job, you'll be connected with the customer. From there you can ask for more information, schedule a survey, and when you're ready, create a quote.
This is created and sent within the platform, then reviewed and accepted by the customer.
Once the work is completed, payment is also completed via the platform - the customer will be sent a notification that it's time to pay, the platform will receive the payment, and then pay you.
You don't have to worry about a thing. No more invoicing, no more chasing for payment.
Your badge means more than just membership.
It means trust.
