Terms summary, FAQ & safety tips
A short, readable summary for the prototype. Full legal terms would be drafted before any launch.
Terms in brief
- 1Posting a job is free for homeowners.
- 2Each job is matched with at most 3 eligible local trades.
- 3Trades see the lead unlock price before paying (sample: £12). Lead access does not guarantee a booking, quote or work.
- 4Homeowners decide whether contact details are released, and to which trades.
- 5Duplicate, invalid or wrong-area leads may qualify for credit under a published, transparent policy.
- 6Badges show specific checks on a specific date. We don't guarantee or endorse any trade's work, and we don't provide insurance.
- 7Ranking is never paid for. Pro subscriptions add tools, not placement.
- 8No emergency service. Contracts for work are between homeowner and trade.
FAQ
Safety tips
- Get at least two written quotes and agree scope, price and timings in writing.
- Check insurance and any registration yourself on the official register — badge dates can go out of date.
- Avoid paying large sums upfront; stage payments against completed work.
- For gas work, ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card and check it covers your appliance.
- Ask for building-regulations compliance certificates where work is notifiable.
- Report pushy behaviour or requests to move off-platform early to moderators.
