FAQ
QUESTIONS? STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
If you've used Checkatrade, Bark, or MyBuilder and got burned — you probably have questions. Here are the straight answers.
What makes JobFilter different from Checkatrade or MyBuilder?
JobFilter is not a shared-enquiry auction. It filters official opportunity data by evidence, trade, location, and timing. Coverage varies by patch, and an honest empty result is better than an invented job.
How does the lead scoring work?
Every signal scores 0–100 using source evidence, trade fit, location, freshness, value confidence, and contactability. GOLD means strongest evidence, not a guaranteed sale. You see why it scored — not just a number.
What does GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE mean?
GOLD means the available evidence is strongest and the opportunity is worth checking first. SILVER is worth reviewing but has weaker timing or completeness. BRONZE is lower confidence. The tier is a ranking, not a promise that the buyer is ready.
How fresh are the leads?
Freshness depends on when each official source publishes and when the scan runs. JobFilter shows the available date and ranks fresher evidence higher. We do not promise a fixed lead over competitors.
What do I actually get for £39/month?
Full opportunity context, value guidance, response templates, job tracking, and delivery features after your account and patch pass activation checks. Priority routing is being piloted; it is not sold as guaranteed exclusivity.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts. No cancellation fees. Access continues until the end of your billing period.
What is the 30-day money-back guarantee?
Use JobFilter for 30 days. Set up your territory and WhatsApp alerts. Browse at least 10 scored leads in your patch. If you do not see a single job worth quoting — not one — email us and we refund the same day. No forms, no argument, no awkward calls.
How does the territory lock work?
Patch priority is being piloted by trade and postcode cluster. We check source coverage and obvious conflicts before activation. Do not treat an unconfirmed patch as exclusive.
Do I need to be VAT registered?
No. JobFilter is built for sole traders and small firms. No minimum turnover. No VAT requirement.
What trades do you cover?
Builders, electricians, EV charger installers, plumbers, gas engineers, roofers, scaffolders, decorators, landscapers, HVAC engineers, heat pump installers, solar PV installers, fire safety engineers, groundworkers, data cabling contractors, structural engineers, CCTV and security installers, and quantity surveyors.
Where does your data come from?
Official UK public-opportunity sources that are enabled and healthy for the scan. Coverage differs by area and some planned sources require provider access. Internal sample records are never allowed into production results.
Is my data safe?
We collect the minimum: name, trade, contact, postcode. We do not sell your data. We do not track your browsing. GDPR compliant. Right to deletion anytime.
