Why UK security engineers use TradeBooked
You cannot answer the phone up a ladder with a camera in one hand, or with a panel open and the wiring half out. TradeBooked takes the booking for you around the clock and asks what system it is, whether it is a new install or a fault on an existing one, and what make the kit is before you set off.
A four-camera CCTV install, an alarm that keeps going off, and a gate that will not close are three different visits needing three different vans. The security booking form asks which one, along with the property type and whether the customer knows the make of what is already fitted. You quote the right number and carry the right parts, instead of finding out on the drive.
Security is the one trade where "it is not working" lands at nine at night and turns out to be a new broadband router. The booking form separates a genuinely insecure property, a gate stuck open, a door that will not lock, an alarm that will not set, from a camera that has dropped off the network and can wait until morning. The emergency reaches you. The rest goes in the diary.
Found in search - not behind a paywall
Your security engineer booking page ships with local-business structured data and is submitted in our sitemap, so Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and AI search tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) can index it directly. Customers searching for a security engineer in your area find you - not a marketplace lineup.
Is TradeBooked right for security engineers?
A good fit if
- ✓You are a self-employed security engineer taking your own bookings, and you want them online 24/7 without playing phone tag.
- ✓You want customers to send job details, and a deposit, up front, so you arrive prepared and no-shows cost the customer, not you.
- ✓You want your own direct booking link and page, not a listing on a lead-generation marketplace.
Probably not, if
- –You want a marketplace to find you new customers. TradeBooked manages bookings from customers who already have your link. Pair it with Checkatrade or MyBuilder if you still want lead generation.
- –You run a large multi-branch or franchise operation. TradeBooked is built for solo security engineers and small teams.
The facts
- •No commission, ever. Deposits and payments go straight to your own Stripe account. TradeBooked never takes a percentage and charges no per-lead fee.
- •Flat monthly subscription from £29/month, on the Solo, Pro, or Autopilot plan.
- •10-day free trial, no credit card required. You can be live and taking bookings the same day.
- •Your own booking page, indexed by Google, Bing and AI search, not a marketplace listing you share with competing trades.
- •Built only for self-employed UK tradespeople.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. One configuration covers CCTV, intruder alarms, automatic gates and barriers, access control, and door entry. The booking form asks which system the customer needs, and a site with more than one is handled on a single job.
Yes. The form asks whether it is a new install, an addition, a fault on an existing system, or a takeover of a system someone else fitted, plus a field for the make of the existing kit (Hikvision, Ajax, Texecom, Paxton, and so on). You know what you are walking into before you leave.
The booking form asks whether the property is insecure right now. That separates a real emergency, a gate stuck open or a door that will not lock, from a routine fault like an offline camera. You are notified immediately for the first and can leave the second in the diary.
Yes. Deposit collection is available on the Pro plan via Stripe. You set the deposit amount per service and funds are paid directly to your Stripe account, with no percentage taken. For full installs and gate automation, a deposit at booking confirms the customer is serious.
Yes. Gate automation and larger multi-system installs can be booked as multi-day jobs that sit in your diary across the days they need.
Yes. Registration badges are supported on the Pro and Autopilot plans and are displayed on your customer-facing booking page. NSI approval can be shown the same way.
Yes. 10 days free, no credit card required. Most tradespeople are live and taking bookings the same day.
