Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a directory instead of just searching online?

Independent shops and workshops don’t always rank well in search, and word of mouth only goes so far. This directory brings them together in one place, so they’re easy to find.

How do I get a shop or workshop listed?

Use the "Submit a listing" form to tell us about it — you can submit your own shop or workshop, or nominate one you know.

Is it free to be listed?

Yes. Thread The Network is a free directory — there’s no charge to submit or maintain a listing.

How long does review take?

Every submission is checked before it goes live, so it won’t appear immediately. We aim to review new listings within a few days.

I spotted something wrong with a listing — what do I do?

Email us with the listing name and what needs correcting, and we’ll update it.

Can I have my listing removed?

Yes. Email us with the listing name and we’ll take it down — no need to explain why.

Which areas does the directory cover?

We’re building this out city by city — use the City filter on the homepage to see what’s currently covered.
