No More Cowboys.

Let’s be honest — if you’ve ever had work done on your home, you probably know the difference between a job done right and a total disaster. I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum. One time, years ago, I hired a guy off a local Facebook group to sort out a leaking roof. Sounded like a top bloke over the phone, even turned up early on the day. Fast-forward a week and the roof was leaking worse than before. He’d patched it with silicone sealant and hope. £500 down the drain and I was back to square one — this time with a slightly smug neighbour reminding me she told me to get a proper roofer in the first place.

 

The truth is, your home is your biggest investment — financially and emotionally. It’s where you eat, sleep, raise kids, fall out, make up, start businesses from the dining table and grow old. So when you’re handing over that responsibility to someone with a hammer and a van, they better know what they’re doing.

A reputable tradesperson doesn’t just "do a job" — they leave your space better than they found it. They take pride in the details. They clean up after themselves. They don't ghost you after taking a deposit. And they definitely don’t bodge it and disappear.

 

But here's the thing: finding good tradespeople shouldn’t feel like a treasure hunt. Word of mouth is great, but what if your mate's plumber is booked for three months? And scrolling through endless directories or social media posts filled with stock images and dodgy grammar doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

That’s exactly why we built GoGraft — the new app from GraftAR designed to cut through the noise and connect homeowners with hand-picked, experienced tradespeople who care as much about your home as you do. Whether you’re looking for a skilled plasterer, a perfectionist kitchen fitter, or a painter who actually uses masking tape, GoGraft is your shortcut to quality.

 

Every Grafter on the app has been vetted for experience, attention to detail, and customer reviews. You can post your job, receive interest from trusted specialists, and communicate directly — all in one place. No middlemen, no inflated prices, no cowboys.

Your home deserves better than “that’ll do.” It deserves people who take pride in their craft. Download GoGraft today and start your project with confidence
