How it works

Honest work, found honestly.

If you need work done

  1. Post the job free. Describe the problem, where you are, and when you need it. Your exact address and contact details stay private.
  2. We alert matching trades instantly. Our engine matches your job to plumbers/electricians covering your postcode — they're notified in-app and by email, plus a daily digest. No waiting and hoping.
  3. Compare real quotes. Each quote shows the trade's reviews from completed platform jobs, credentials (Gas Safe, Part P scheme), insurance, and experience.
  4. Accept one quote. Contact details are exchanged automatically. Other quotes are politely declined for you.
  5. Mark complete & review. Your review is tied to a real completed job — that's why reviews here mean something.

If you're a trade

  1. Join free and set your patch. Choose your trade and the postcode areas you cover.
  2. Work comes to you. Every matching job is offered to you the moment it's posted — plus a 7am daily digest of open leads you haven't quoted.
  3. Quote in a minute. Price, availability, short message. First quotes win most jobs.
  4. Get verified. Add your Gas Safe number or Part P scheme and our team checks it — the ✓ badge ranks you higher in matching and wins trust.
  5. Build a reputation that compounds. Completed jobs and reviews push you up the rankings, which brings more leads. Good work snowballs.

Safety & standards

  • Gas work in England must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer — we display registration numbers so you can check them at gassaferegister.co.uk.
  • Notifiable electrical work must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations — we show each electrician's competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT, ELECSA, STROMA).
  • Verified badges are issued manually by our team after checking credentials.
  • Suspend-on-report: accounts that behave badly are removed.
