About Install It Right
We are on a mission to transform how UK homeowners find and hire trusted local tradespeople. Fair pricing, total transparency, and zero platform commission.
Our Mission
Install It Right was built to solve a simple problem: finding a reliable tradesperson should not be stressful, expensive, or uncertain. We connect UK homeowners with trusted local tradespeople, fostering local economies and simplifying home services for everyone.
Connecting Communities
We bring homeowners and local tradespeople together, strengthening communities and keeping money in the local economy.
Building Trust
Every tradesperson is verified, rated by real homeowners, and accountable through detailed job reports and transparent pricing.
Simplifying Home Services
Post a job in under two minutes, receive competitive quotes, and manage everything from your phone. Home improvement made easy.
What We Do
Install It Right is a marketplace that puts homeowners and tradespeople first. Here is how it works.
Homeowners Post Jobs Free
Homeowners describe the work they need, select a trade category, enter their postcode, and post the job at no cost. It takes less than two minutes from start to finish.
Tradespeople Submit Proposals
Verified local tradespeople browse jobs in their area and submit proposals with their price, estimated duration, and a personalised cover letter. Homeowners compare and choose.
Secure Payments via Stripe
All payments are processed securely through Stripe Connect. Homeowners pay only when the job is complete and they have approved the tradesperson's detailed report.
No Platform Commission
Tradespeople receive 100% of the job cost directly to their bank account. We never take a cut from payments. The only cost is purchasing credit packs to submit proposals.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we build and every decision we make.
Trust & Transparency
Every price includes a clear VAT breakdown. Every tradesperson has a verified profile with real ratings and completed job history.
Fair Pricing
No hidden fees, no inflated quotes. Homeowners compare competitive proposals and tradespeople set their own rates without platform markups.
Supporting Local Trades
We champion independent tradespeople and local businesses. Every job completed through Install It Right supports the local economy.
Quality Assured
Detailed job completion reports with photos, ratings from real homeowners, and a dispute resolution process ensure quality work every time.
How We're Different
Install It Right is not just another directory. Here is what sets us apart from traditional tradesperson platforms.
Zero Commission on Payments
Unlike other platforms that take 10-20%, we never charge tradespeople a commission. They keep 100% of the job cost.
100% Goes to the Tradesperson
Every penny of the job cost goes directly to the tradesperson via Stripe Connect. Only Stripe's standard processing fee applies.
Fair Credit System
Tradespeople use credits to submit proposals. If a proposal is declined, the credit is refunded. You only pay for genuine opportunities.
Live GPS Tracking
Track your tradesperson in real time on a map as they travel to your home. See their ETA, distance, and direction of travel.
Detailed Job Reports
Tradespeople submit professional completion reports with photos, hours worked, materials used, and a full cost breakdown including VAT.
Full VAT Transparency
All prices are displayed ex VAT with the 20% UK VAT calculated and shown clearly. No surprises, no hidden charges.
