Two ways to work with us

Pick the one that matches how you invoice. Both are free, both are vetted by our delivery team, and you can only be on one list.

Partner companies

You run a firm and send a team

For electrical, civils, new build, solar and telecoms firms who invoice as a business and can put two or more people on a job. You get a login to the partner portal, see every project, minor works job and bid that fits your trades, and price it as a company.

  • Login to the portal for your company
  • Price whole packages, not just labour
  • Invited by name to support our bids
Apply as a company

Individual installers

You work for yourself

For self-employed electricians, civils operatives, solar and telecoms installers, improvers, mates and labourers who invoice as an individual. Register once with your cards and where you cover. No login. When we need people near you, we email you the site, dates and rate and you reply with one tap.

  • No portal, no password, just email
  • Day-rate labour on our sites
  • Your cards and rating stay on file for the next job
Register as an installer

Not sure? If you have a company and would send more than yourself, apply as a company. If it is just you, register as an installer.

How it works

One application, then every matching request comes to you.

  1. Apply

    Tell us your trades, your cards and where you cover. It takes a few minutes.

  2. We approve you

    Our delivery team checks your details and sets up your login. We may ask for insurance and accreditation documents.

  3. Requests arrive

    Confirmed shifts, minor works and bid support appear in your portal as soon as we post them.

  4. You respond

    Give your rate and availability in the portal. No chasing, no missed calls.

  5. We award and mobilise

    You are told the moment a job is yours, with the site brief and the Ashby contact for the works.

What to expect from Ashby

Terms agreed before you start

Rates, scope and payment terms are confirmed in writing when a job is awarded, so there are no surprises on invoice day.

Only the work that fits you

We can point requests at the partners they suit. A two-person firm is not shown a forty-shift programme, and a national contractor is not asked to price a socket.

A named contact on every job

Each request carries the Ashby person running the works, so questions about access, materials or paperwork get a straight answer.

Three kinds of request

Each has its own colour in the portal so you always know what you are looking at.

Project Confirmed jobs we have won

Role mix, dates and site brief. You commit, we mobilise.

Minor works Smaller jobs, fast turnaround

Suited to small firms and sole traders. Quick to price, quick to do.

Bid support Help on tenders we are pricing

Design input, costings and surveys. You are invited by name and can accept or decline.

Companies apply once and are on the list for every request that matches their trade and area. Individual installers can register for the installer list instead.
