Choose who feels right

When you are ready, share your contact details with the person you pick, and only them. Once the work is done, a short review helps the next neighbour choose well.

  • You decide who gets your details
  • No obligation to hire
  • Review once the job is done

Good questions

Before you start.

Anything else? Read how we make trust clearer ↗

Do I have to hire anyone?

No. Posting a job lets you compare interested local tradespeople. You only share your details if and when someone feels right.

Who can see my phone number?

Nobody, until you choose. Tradespeople see the job description, rough location and any photos you add. Your contact details are shared only with the person you pick.

What do the checks on a profile mean?

Each profile says what was checked, when it was checked and what it covers, so you can judge for yourself rather than trust a badge.

Why only three tradespeople?

Three is enough to compare properly without a flood of calls, and it means each tradesperson has a fair chance of the work.
