The Platform
Arkadia Connect is an online marketplace and platform. We provide the technology that brings together customers looking for property and trades work with independent tradespeople and businesses operating across the UK.
Our platform enables customers to post jobs, receive responses from relevant traders, compare profiles, communicate securely, and leave reviews — all in one place.

- All traders on Arkadia Connect are independent businesses or self-employed professionals. They are not employees or agents of Arkadia Connect.
- Arkadia Connect is a marketplace only. We do not carry out any of the work arranged between customers and traders, and we are not party to any contract formed between them.
- Customers should always satisfy themselves about a trader suitability, qualifications and insurance before agreeing any work. We encourage reviewing trader profiles, ratings and customer feedback before making a decision.
