Business protection and verified reputation for UK trades and their customers

The record comes first.
The reputation follows.

A verified record is the job agreed in writing before it starts - scope, price and dates, signed by both sides. Once it's signed, neither side can change it, fake it, or claim it said something else.

Reviews come later, and only from a job you both signed - so there's nothing fake to plant and nothing honest to erase. Both sides review each other, and neither sees the other's until both are in.

How it works

You've been asked to confirm a job. Here's all it is.

Saved to your records.

We never ask for payment

A genuine request only ever asks you to read what was agreed and confirm it - never card or bank details.

One tap to sign

No app or account needed. Set up a dashboard later if you want one.

Your record stays yours

You're never turned into a public score. Your record history is private by default - share it only if you choose.

You can be reviewed too - on your terms.

Only a tradesperson you've actually signed a job with can leave you a review. Share your history to show a new tradesperson you're a good customer to work with, or keep it to yourself - always your choice.

Built by the team behind an established, Buy with Confidence approved Hampshire trades business.

Why we built SigBond

After years of watching the same two problems play out: jobs agreed on a handshake then argued over later, and good tradespeople undercut by fake reviews while honest customers couldn't tell who was real.

So we built the thing we'd have wanted ourselves - a record both sides sign, and reviews that only come from jobs that actually happened.

Built so neither side can fake it.

Not a rule we're asking people to follow - it's how it's made.

01

Both sides sign, or it doesn't exist

One side can't fabricate a record, edit it, or post it without the other knowing.

02

Provable, not just claimed

Once it's signed, the record is fixed. Either side - or anyone they later show it to, like an insurer or an adjudicator - can confirm it hasn't changed since.

03

Reputation from signed jobs only

Every review sits on a record both sides put their name to.

Questions people ask.

Do I need an account to confirm a job?
No. If a tradesperson sends you a record to confirm, you tap the link in the text, read it and confirm. Nothing to download, no password to set. You can set up a dashboard later to keep your records in one place, but it's optional.
Is this safe? Will you ask for payment?
A genuine SigBond request only ever asks you to read what was agreed and confirm it. It never asks for payment, card or bank details. If a message asks you for money and claims to be us, don't act on it - email team@sigbond.com and we'll check it for you.
What is a verified record?
A verified record is a written summary of a job - scope, price and dates - that both the tradesperson and the customer have signed before the work starts. Once both have signed, it carries a secure digital signature and a timestamp, and neither side can quietly change or delete it. Each side keeps a copy.
What does "signed and timestamped" actually mean?
It means the record is stamped with the exact date and time both sides confirmed it, in a way that can't be backdated or altered afterwards. So if there's ever a disagreement about what was agreed, or when, there's a clear record both of you signed - not one person's word against the other's.
As a customer, can I be reviewed too?
Yes - but only by a tradesperson you actually signed a job with, and only after that job is done. It works both ways: you review them, they review you, and neither review is visible until both are in, so no one can leave a bad review just because they saw yours first. Your reviews are private to you by default. You can share them - or a summary - if you ever want to show a new tradesperson you're good to work with, but that's always your choice.
Is this a rating or a score on me?
No. SigBond never turns a customer into a single score or star rating - there's no "customer score", on our side or anyone else's. What exists is a set of real, signed jobs and the reviews attached to them, which stay private to you unless you choose to share. Having no history doesn't count against you either: new simply reads as new, never as a risk.
What if the details in the record are wrong?
Don't confirm it. Confirming is you agreeing the scope, price and dates are right - so if anything's off, speak to your tradesperson and get it corrected first. A record only becomes final once both sides have signed, so there's no pressure to accept something that doesn't match what you agreed.
Is SigBond free?
Free through the pilot. Tradespeople joining now pay nothing, and confirming a record as a customer is always free. New features are coming, and we'll be clear about pricing before anything changes.
What data do you hold?
For a customer confirming a record: your name, mobile number and the job details the tradesperson entered. For tradespeople: your business details and the records you create. We don't sell data and we don't use it for advertising. Full details are in our privacy notice.

We're running the pilot in Hampshire.

SigBond works best when trades and customers in the same area use it - so we're rolling out region by region. Hampshire first, because that's home.
