Our story
About Cornwall
Green Trades
Cornwall's only dedicated directory of verified green energy and eco tradespeople.
The problem we solve
Why we built this
Cornwall is the UK's number one local authority for renewable energy installations - over 38,000 MCS-certified installations and counting. Yet there was no local, trusted place to find the businesses doing this work.
National directories are full of non-local results, paid rankings, and businesses with no real connection to Cornwall. Finding an MCS-certified solar installer in Truro shouldn't mean wading through companies based in Bristol or London.
We built Cornwall Green Trades to fix that - a single, clean, local directory where every listing is verified and every business genuinely operates in Cornwall.
Built for everyone
Who it's for
Homeowners
Finding a trustworthy installer for solar, a heat pump, an EV charger, or home insulation - without having to guess who to trust.
Tradespeople
MCS-certified and eco-specialist businesses in Cornwall who want local customers to be able to find them easily.
Developers
Building or retrofitting in Cornwall and needing a reliable list of accredited green trades contractors.
Surveyors & architects
Recommending certified installers to clients undertaking energy-efficiency improvements.
Our process
How verification works
MCS certification check
Our founding dataset comes directly from the MCS public installer register. Every business scraped from MCS is verified by definition - MCS accreditation is government-recognised and requires independent assessment.
Cornwall postcode filter
We only include businesses with a registered address in a Cornwall postcode (TR1-TR27, and Cornwall-area PL postcodes). No national businesses with a Cornwall PO Box.
Business claims
When a business claims their listing, they verify via a business email address. This confirms the person managing the listing has access to the business email.
Self-submitted listings
Businesses that submit their own listing are manually reviewed before going live. We check for valid certifications before approving.
