How it works
From job posted to job done — in minutes
Fixies makes finding a trusted tradesperson as easy as ordering a taxi. Here's exactly how the process works.
For homeowners
Post a job, get matched, pay securely.
Step 01
Describe your job
Tell us what needs doing — trade type, location, and a brief description. It takes under 2 minutes and there's no obligation.
We support 36 trade categories from plumbing and electrical to cleaning, removals, and landscaping.
Step 02
Get an AI price estimate
Our AI analyses thousands of real completed jobs in your area to show you the fair market rate before anyone quotes.
Prices are segmented by job type, location, urgency, and complexity — so you always know what's reasonable.
Step 03
Match with a verified trader
We instantly match your job with insured, ID-checked tradespeople in your area who are available and rated for your job type.
Every trader on Fixies has passed ID verification, provided proof of insurance, and been reviewed by real customers.
Step 04
Pay securely — release when done
Payment is held in escrow from day one. You only release funds when the job is completed to your satisfaction.
No cash in hand. No chasing invoices. Funds release to the trader within 24 hours of your approval.
Step 05
Leave a review
Your honest review helps other homeowners find the best tradespeople — and helps great traders stand out.
All reviews are verified against completed jobs. We remove fake reviews automatically.
