Like ordering a ride, but for repairs
No phoning around, and no "I'll come Tuesday, maybe". Here's how it works from request to finished job.
- 1
Request
Choose plumbing, electrical, handyman or IT/Wi-Fi, describe the job, add photos and confirm where you are.
- 2
Match
Nearby verified fundis get the job fairly. The first to accept shows you their callout.
- 3
Diagnose & quote
Follow their trip on the map. On site they diagnose the problem and send an itemised labour + materials quote.
- 4
Approve, pay, rate
Accept the quote and your callout is waived. Once the job is done, you pay and leave a review.
A callout to diagnose, waived when you go ahead
Fundis set their own prices. You'll see the callout before they leave, and an itemised repair quote before any work starts.
- The callout covers travel and diagnosing the problem
- Accept the repair quote and the callout is waived
- Decline and you pay only the agreed callout
- Materials are listed line by line, so there are no mystery totals
What you'll see on every quote
We don't publish a price list. Every fundi sets their own prices, and you decide.
