Hubradar monitors local Facebook community hubs and noticeboards across the UK 24/7. When a homeowner asks for a tradesman or local service in your area, we ping your phone with an instant SMS in under 60 seconds with the direct link.
We are an independent UK lead monitoring service built specifically for self-employed tradespeople and local businesses. Local homeowners post recommendations and urgent job requests every single day in community Facebook groups and town noticeboards. Unless you spend all day refreshing Facebook, you miss them. Hubradar watches your local area 24/7 and sends an instant SMS text to your mobile phone the second a job appears so you can reply first and win the work.
No apps to download, no complicated software, and no bidding wars. Direct text alerts straight to your phone.
A local resident posts in their community noticeboard (e.g. "Can anyone recommend a reliable roofer nearby to fix storm damage?").
Our smart radar spots the post in seconds, filters out spam, adverts, and junk, and verifies it's a genuine customer asking for your trade.
Your phone buzzes with an SMS. Tap the link, introduce your business first, and secure the job before other trades even know it exists.
Emails get buried in spam. Push notifications get silenced. But when an SMS buzzes in your pocket on a job site, you see it instantly. Fast response means higher win rates.
You talk directly to the homeowner. We never take a cut of your earnings, charge per lead, or hide phone numbers. Your hard-earned money stays 100% yours.
Tired of paying £200+ a month or getting charged £30 for leads that never answer the phone?
