Local Heroes deals

If you're in need of a British Gas-backed plumber, electrician or other tradesperson, we've a way you can get a £25 Amazon e-gift card as a bonus. You'll need to make a booking via our MSE Blagged Local Heroes* link, and once the handiwork is paid for and completed, you'll be emailed your voucher code within two weeks.

The offer will end at 11.59pm on Mon 14 Dec, or when 600 codes have been claimed, whichever's sooner. There’s no minimum spend required, but do keep in mind that the voucher is just a bonus, and you do need to spend money to get the 'freebie'. It's only worth using if you were already planning to book a tradesperson.

Once you've received your £25 code, you've got until 1 Mar 2028 to spend it online at Amazon, so plenty of time. As per Amazon's standard T&Cs, the e-gift card can’t be redeemed against other gift cards or Prime membership (see our 23 Amazon Buying Tips to cut costs).

It connects you with local tradespeople in England, Scotland and Wales (but excludes Northern Ireland).

As with anything of this nature, we can't vouch for the quality of work done by individual tradespeople, so it's important to compare reviews and make an informed decision of your own.

All complaints are handled in-house by Local Heroes, and you can get in touch via its contact form. If you need to book a repair under your guarantee, simply contact the tradesperson directly.

If you're looking to engage the services of a British Gas-backed plumber, electrician or other tradesperson, we've a way you can bag a £25 Amazon e-gift card at the same time.

As per Amazon's standard T&Cs, the e-gift card can’t be used to buy other gift cards or Prime membership (see our 24 Amazon Buying Tips to cut costs).
