About Us
Ask The Trades was formed early in 2003 as a forum for all kinds of tradesmen to share advice and converse with like minded tradesmen.

At the time of inception there were already many established forums, but these were heavily moderated and threads and posts were often needlessly deleted or edited.

Ask The Trades was setup to address this, and has always been just lightly moderated.

Ask The Trades also setup a forum area for use by validated tradesmen to chat and converse in a non public area.
Access to this area requires some proof that you operate as a tradesman. (You can apply HERE).

Our DIY area is the perfect place for DIYers to obtain advice and help directly from highly skilled tradesmen. An amazing resource!
