The six postcodes
A postcode district is the first half of your postcode, before the space. If yours starts with TN1 to TN6, you can book verified tradespeople today. Roughly, the six districts cover:
- TN1 and TN2: central Royal Tunbridge Wells, with TN2 reaching east to Pembury.
- TN3: the villages to the west and south, including Langton Green and Speldhurst.
- TN4: Southborough, Rusthall and the north of the town.
- TN5 and TN6: south across the East Sussex border, towards Wadhurst and Crowborough.
Postcode boundaries do not follow parish or council lines, so the quickest way to be sure is to type the first half of your postcode into the checker on the homepage. It answers straight away.
Why start with one town
Every tradesperson on TEKTO CNCT is identity-checked, DBS-checked and insured before their first job. Doing that properly takes time, and a marketplace is only useful when there is someone available when you need them. Starting in one area means enough verified tradespeople close to every booking, rather than a thin spread across Kent.
It is also better for the tradespeople. Short journeys between jobs mean more of the day is paid work, and local tradespeople build their reputation among neighbours who can see their work.
Older homes, particular jobs
Royal Tunbridge Wells has a large share of Victorian and Georgian houses, and several conservation areas across the borough. Sash windows, lime plaster, original fireplaces and old wiring all reward a tradesperson who has worked on them before, so it is worth asking about that experience when you book.
In a conservation area or a listed building, the permission is the owner's responsibility, not the tradesperson's.
If your home is listed, or in a conservation area, check with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council before changing anything on the outside, such as windows or doors. In a conservation area or a listed building, the permission is the owner's responsibility, not the tradesperson's.
What is live, and what comes next
Home cleaning, electricians and handymen are bookable across TN1 to TN6 today. Plumbers, carpenters, painters and decorators, tilers, locksmiths and roofers have their pages ready and open as tradespeople in those trades clear verification.
The next towns are Tonbridge (TN9 to TN12), Sevenoaks (TN13 to TN16) and Maidstone (ME14 to ME20). If you are there, or anywhere else, register anyway: you join the waitlist for your area and hear the moment tradespeople there are verified.
If your postcode starts TN1 to TN6, TEKTO CNCT is open to you now. If it does not, a registration today puts you first in line when your town opens.
