About Us

Representing Irish master craftsmen since 1992

The National Guild of Master Craftsmen is the largest organisation representing skilled and accredited tradesmen and builders in Ireland.

Our story

For more than three decades the National Guild has set the standard for craftsmanship in Ireland. We represent a wide cross-section of trades — from carpenters and stonemasons to electricians, plumbers and roofers — every one of them vetted and accredited.

Members display the Guild seal to show consumers that they have committed to a code of conduct, hold the right insurance, and stand behind the quality of their work. For homeowners and project managers across the Republic, the Guild seal is shorthand for trust.
