Guides · For main contractors
Using TLGB as a main contractor
A free account for main contractors and housebuilders who need reliable landscaping and external works subcontractors.
Open an account
- Sign up at main contractors with your company number and work email.
- We check the company on Companies House and confirm your email matches the company before approving the account.
- Add colleagues from the team page so everyone shares the same lists and notes.
Find and check trades
- Search by trade and postcode, with filters for verified members, minimum public liability cover and accreditations.
- Each listing shows checked insurance and accreditations with expiry dates.
- Save trades to named shortlists, for example by region or package, and keep private notes your team can see.
Paperwork alerts
Your shortlist shows live paperwork status for every trade on it. Switch on alerts and we email a daily summary when a shortlisted trade’s insurance or accreditation is due to expire in the next 14 days, has expired, has been renewed, or their membership has lapsed.
Post a package
- Post the job: trades, postcode, value band, dates, minimum cover, accreditations required and drawings.
- It goes to every matching member, and you can invite your shortlisted trades directly.
- Replies arrive with each trade’s compliance pack attached.
