Local Tradespeople

Where can I find a quality, local, trusted plumber, gardener, solicitor, locksmith, physio, builder? Home Handbook brings you the answers to these questions and more.

Online and in print, we have done the hard work to visit local tradespeople and view their work.
This gives us the ability to provide you with reliable information about people in your area to hire for a vast array of jobs. We track down businesses and provide pen portraits and photos for each business person, all of whom we have met and interviewed. The response from readers, web users and the businesses themselves has been incredible since we set up in 2010!

Look out for our team delivering our glossy blue Handbook. It’s fresh and personalised, with information about all your local tradespeople.
A booklet to stay by your phone and a website to search the wider Preston community.
The Home Handbook is your guide to services and tradespeople in your area. Keep it for when you need it

Are you a local tradesperson?

Home Handbook offers an unbeatable way to promote your business to homeowners in your local area – in our high quality, glossy, colour handbook and also on our interactive website. It’s fresh and personalised – a booklet to stay by the phone and a web entry to reach the wider Preston community.

Your Advertising Space

  • A quarter page with a picture

  • A half page with more editorial and a bigger picture

  • A full page bespoke Ad which can carry editorial, up to three pictures, a list of services and a testimonial

  • A double page spread – perfect for businesses where several photos of their work can be used to properly

Home Handbook also carries a more limited number of full-page and half-page display adverts for businesses which do not visit the home e.g. solicitors, caterers & tuition services. Surrounded by editorial, these adverts stand out, giving extra value to the advertiser. They can be designed by our experienced graphic designers if clients do not have pre-designed adverts.

All adverts and listings are in a handbook designed to last for at least a year because of the usefulness of information in it. Home Handbooks, in print and on the web, charge reasonable prices, appropriate to small businesses.

Testimonial from previous client of Benthom Developments Ltd

Andy is very professional. Everything is itemised so you know from start to finish where you are with costs. All his lads are brilliant, which makes a huge difference. And he’s done a great job – we’ve recommended him to friends. 

Lady Milena Baines, Preston. Client of Martin Parry Plumbing & Heating Ltd

Martin has been our plumber for over 25 years. He’s brilliant. I couldn’t fault him and he’s a great guy to know

Mrs Ellis, Longridge. Client of Oliver Platt - Plattinum Roofing

Oliver changed front and rear lead gutters, pointed ridge tiles and a chimney stack, at a very competitive price with little disruption, cleanly and efficiently. He is a very polite and well-mannered individual and we have recommended him to friends and family

Rob Campbell, Penwortham. Client of FJ Fabrication Ltd

From discussing the design to fitting the product, nothing was too much trouble. In less than two weeks we had the gates we’d always wanted, made and finished to an exceptionally high standard.
