Cumbria needed a proper trade directory
Finding a local tradesperson in Cumbria has never been straightforward. The big national directories barely cover the county, lump us in with the rest of the North West, and put whoever pays the most at the top of the list. That isn't much use when you live in Carlisle, Barrow or a village out past Penrith and just want someone reliable nearby.
Cumbria Trade Directory was set up to do it properly. It covers the whole county — from the west coast to the Eden Valley, the Lakes to the Solway — and lists real businesses that actually work here. There are no paid rankings. A business appears because it operates in Cumbria, not because it has paid to jump the queue.
Every major trade, every town
The directory covers 12 trades across every listed town in Cumbria. Browse any of them here:
- Plumbers

Honest listings, nothing invented
Every listed business is real and operating in Cumbria. Contact details are sourced from publicly available information. We don't show ratings unless they come from a verified source, and we don't invent descriptions to fill space. There are no premium placements — no business pays to rank above another. If a listing is out of date or incorrect, it can be reported through the contact page and we'll put it right.
