Trades marketplace app

A UK home-improvement marketplace connecting homeowners with local tradespeople partnered with CodeLeap as a development team on their mobile app. We worked on the booking flow and user experience that carries a job from posted to matched.

What we did CodeLeap worked as development partner on a UK trades marketplace app, focused on the booking flow and user experience that connects homeowners with local tradespeople.

Trades marketplace app — Mobile app case study Post a job. Find a trade.

Finding a reliable builder usually means chasing recommendations, phoning round and hoping someone turns up. Our client set out to fix that with a marketplace linking homeowners who need work done to tradespeople looking for jobs nearby. CodeLeap came on as a development partner on their mobile app, working on the booking flow and user experience — the path a homeowner takes to describe a job and reach the right local trade, and the way new builders come onto the platform.

What we built

  • Guided job posting

    Homeowners describe the work they need in a few simple steps and send it to nearby tradespeople, replacing endless searching and phone calls with a clear brief that trades can respond to.

  • Booking flow and matching

    The core journey — from a posted job to the right nearby trade responding — is shaped to keep both sides moving, so a request turns into an agreed job with as little friction as possible.

  • Homeowner and trade messaging

    Once a job is posted, tradespeople and homeowners can talk in the app to discuss the work, agree scope and confirm details, keeping the conversation attached to the job rather than scattered across texts and calls.

  • Trade onboarding

    New tradespeople can join the platform and set themselves up to receive local job leads, growing the supply side so homeowners posting work have builders available to respond.

Why this matters to you:

For a marketplace, the booking flow is the product: if posting a job or finding a trade is awkward, neither side comes back. The work CodeLeap contributed keeps that path clear on both sides — homeowners reaching local trades without the guesswork, and tradespeople getting relevant nearby leads.
