How much does it cost to become a TPO Search partner?

It's free to join and leads are free while we grow the network. We intend to move to a simple pay-per-lead model in future — you'll be told well before that happens, you'll see the price of a lead before you accept it, and there's no subscription or lock-in.

Do I have to be qualified and insured?

We review every application, including public liability insurance, professional indemnity (for survey work) and any accreditations such as Arboricultural Association ARB Approved, before we approve you. No partner receives leads until they've been approved.

Will the same lead go to other firms?

No. Each lead is exclusive — it goes to one professional. You're not quoting against a bidding pile.

Becoming a TPO Search Partner

TPO Search is a free tool thousands of UK homeowners use every month to check whether a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order before they work on it. Many of them then need a professional — to do the work, or to produce the survey or report their council asks for. The partner network is how we connect those people to firms like yours.

Where the leads come from

Every lead starts with a homeowner who has already searched their address on TPO Search. By the time they ask to be connected, they know a TPO may be in play — so they're past casual curiosity and ready to pay someone who knows what they're doing. Some need felling or pruning; many need a consultant for a survey, a BS 5837 report, or help applying for consent. You tell us which of those you do.

One lead, one pro

Leads are exclusive. Each enquiry goes to a single firm — not blasted to ten of you to fight over on price. It means a warmer call and a real shot at the job, which is the whole point.

We vet every partner

Connecting a homeowner to a cowboy would be a betrayal of the trust the site is built on — especially when the tree is protected and the work is legally sensitive. So we review every application: public liability insurance, professional indemnity for survey work, and accreditations such as Arboricultural Association ARB Approved, LANTRA and NPTC. No one receives a lead until they're approved.

You set the areas you cover

Tell us the towns, postcodes or travel radius you'll take on and you'll only hear about work inside it. Cover a single town or a whole county — and change it whenever your capacity does.

Free now, pay-per-lead later — and honest about it

Every lead is free while we grow the network. A marketplace is only worth joining once enough homeowners are using it, and we'd rather earn your trust than your card details. When we do introduce charging it'll be simple pay-per-lead: you'll see the price before you accept a lead, there's no subscription or lock-in, and we'll tell you well in advance. We ask you to acknowledge that at signup so nobody feels misled when it changes.

How to join

Fill in the application on the for tree professionals page — your business, what you offer, the areas you cover, and your insurance and accreditations. We'll review it and get you set up.
