ShamFix.ie matches verified Dublin electricians with local customers. No credits, no commission, no pay-per-lead.
Why Tradesmen Are Switching to ShamFix in 2026
Dublin has no shortage of electrical work — fuse boards that predate the IS10101 wiring rules, EV chargers going onto driveways from Clontarf to Tallaght, attic conversions in Dundrum needing new circuits, landlords chasing periodic inspection reports before tenancies turn over. What Dublin does have is a broken middle layer between that work and the electricians who can do it.
The traditional routes each leak money or time. Directory listings put you in a list of forty names with nothing to separate you. Pay-per-lead platforms charge you for contact details whether or not the customer ever picks up the phone — and sell the same enquiry to several competitors. Word of mouth is excellent but lumpy: a strong month in Drumcondra tells you nothing about the next one.
ShamFix was built to replace that middle layer with something simpler: an AI-first marketplace that matches each customer request to a small number of suitable, verified local electricians — and charges tradespeople a flat subscription instead of taxing every lead. During Phase 1, even the subscription is free. For broader strategies beyond any single platform, see how to get more leads as a tradesman in Ireland and 5 ways to get free leads.
- EV charging is now a standard domestic job: SEAI offers homeowners a grant of up to €300 towards a home charger, and the installation must be completed by a Safe Electric registered electrician — a steady, grant-subsidised pipeline of work.
- Regulation keeps tightening in your favour: restricted electrical works in domestic premises legally require a Registered Electrical Contractor, and Safe Electric actively invites the public to report illegal works — squeezing unregistered operators out of the market verified electricians compete in.
- Dublin's housing stock does the marketing for you: a large share of homes predates the current IS10101 wiring rules, so fuse board upgrades, rewires and periodic inspections are recurring demand, not one-off projects.
How ShamFix Works for Dublin Electricians
Getting started takes minutes, and verification is the only real gate — by design, because verified status is what makes customers pick you.
1
Create your provider profile and complete verification — insurance and ID. Keep your Safe Electric registration to hand: customers expect it for restricted electrical works.
2
Set your trade and service area: D1-D24 and 6W, specific suburbs, or the full M50 catchment. You only see jobs you can actually take.
3
Receive AI-matched leads. When a customer posts a job that fits your trade and area, ShamFix matches you — real job details, not a teaser behind a paywall.
4
Chat with the customer, quote your price, win the job and keep 100% of it. No commission during Phase 1 — or ever.

What Tradesmen Should Know in 2026
The Dublin electrical market is moving in directions that favour verified, registered electricians — the bottleneck is visibility, which is the part a marketplace should be solving for you. ShamFix already works the same way for plumbers in Dublin and handymen; see how the platform works end to end.
ShamFix vs Bark — Side-by-Side for Electricians
The structural difference is the unit you pay for. Credit platforms monetise enquiries, so their incentive is to sell each enquiry widely. Subscription platforms monetise membership, so the only thing that keeps you paying is actually winning work. ShamFix is subscription-only by design — and in Phase 1 the subscription is free, which makes the comparison unusually easy to test for yourself.

Questions Dublin Electricians Ask Before Joining
How much does ShamFix cost for electricians in Dublin?
Nothing during Phase 1. Every lead, every match and every customer chat is free until Phase 1 ends in approximately March 2027. After that, ShamFix moves to a flat subscription — there is no pay-per-lead pricing and no commission on your jobs, ever.
Do I need to be Safe Electric registered to join ShamFix?
If you carry out restricted electrical works in domestic premises in Ireland, you must be a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC) with Safe Electric — that is the law, not a ShamFix rule. ShamFix verifies insurance and ID during onboarding (deeper credential checks are on the Phase 2 roadmap), and verified status is shown to customers, which is exactly why verified electricians convert enquiries better.
How is ShamFix different from Bark for electricians?
Bark sells contact details: you buy credits, pay per lead and compete with several other electricians for the same enquiry, whether or not the customer ever replies. ShamFix matches each job request to suitable verified electricians and charges nothing per lead — during Phase 1 the whole platform is free, and afterwards it is a flat subscription.
What electrical jobs do Dublin customers post most often?
Typical requests include fuse board upgrades, EV charger installations, partial and full rewires, socket and lighting additions, immersion and shower circuit work, and fault-finding callouts. Demand for EV charger installs keeps growing — SEAI currently offers homeowners a grant of up to €300 towards a home charger, and installation must be completed by a Safe Electric registered electrician.
Which areas of Dublin does ShamFix cover?
All of Dublin city and county — D1 to D24 plus 6W, and the wider commuter belt including Swords, Blanchardstown, Tallaght and Dún Laoghaire. You set your own service area during onboarding and only get matched to jobs inside it.
What happens when ShamFix Phase 1 ends in approximately March 2027?
You choose whether to continue on a flat monthly subscription. There is no automatic billing surprise: pricing is published before Phase 1 ends, you keep your profile, reviews and match history, and there is still no commission and no pay-per-lead charge.
I already pay for another platform — is it worth adding ShamFix now?
Phase 1 is the lowest-risk moment to find out: joining costs nothing, so any job you win is pure upside. Most established Dublin electricians run two or three channels in parallel; adding a free one to the mix while it is free is the easy version of that decision.
