Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

Welcome to Teesside Trade Services, owned and operated by Teesside Trade Marketing. By accessing our website (teessidetradeservices.co.uk) and using our services, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully.

1. Our Role as an Intermediary

Teesside Trade Services acts solely as a directory and lead generation service. We connect homeowners and businesses ("Users") with independent tradespeople and companies ("Service Providers") in the Teesside area.

We are NOT a contractor. We do not perform any building, maintenance, or repair work ourselves. When you request a quote through our platform, we pass your details to third-party Service Providers who will contact you directly.

2. No Contract for Works

Any contract for work, services, or goods is strictly between you (the User) and the Service Provider you choose to hire. Teesside Trade Services is not a party to any such contract and accepts no liability for the quality, safety, or legality of the services provided, nor for any disputes that may arise between you and the Service Provider.

3. Verification and Due Diligence

While we endeavor to partner with reputable local businesses, it is your responsibility to verify the credentials of any Service Provider you hire. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Checking valid insurance (Public Liability, etc.).
  • Verifying trade memberships and qualifications (e.g., Gas Safe, NICEIC).
  • Reading reviews and requesting references.
  • Agreeing on a written quote and scope of work before commencement.

We do not guarantee the work of any Service Provider listed on our site or in our network.
