The coverage map helps you find the right contractor for a job based on their location and trade. This guide covers the most common map tasks.
Finding contractors near a location
Open the coverage map
Click Coverage Map in the sidebar navigation.
Search by postcode
Type a postcode or address into the search bar at the top of the map. Select the correct result from the autocomplete suggestions.
Review coverage
The map centres on the searched location. Contractor coverage areas (isochrones) are displayed as shaded regions. Contractors whose coverage includes the searched location are highlighted.
Filtering contractors
Open the filter panel
Use the filter controls on the left side of the map.
Filter by trade
Select a trade (e.g. plumber, electrician) to show only contractors with that skill.
Filter by name
Type a contractor’s name to find them on the map.
Adjust radius or travel time
Use the radius or travel-time sliders to narrow results to contractors who can reach the area within a specific time.
Switching between local and nationwide
Use the tabs above the map to switch between:
- Local — contractors within a defined radius of the current view
- Nationwide — all contractors regardless of location
Use the local tab when assigning a routine job. Switch to nationwide when you need a specialist trade that may not be available locally.
Toggling point-of-interest overlays
Click the layers icon on the map to toggle overlays:
- Hospitals — nearby NHS facilities
- Parking — car parks near the job site
- Landmarks — other notable locations
These overlays use OpenStreetMap data and help when planning access to a job site.

Click on a contractor pin or isochrone area on the map to open a summary card showing:
