Post Your Small Job in London
Some jobs are too small to chase builders for. Describe yours once, with photos if you like, and we’ll try to match it with an independent tradesperson who takes on work like it. We don’t carry out the work ourselves.
A good job post includes
- What needs doing, in plain words
- Rough measurements or quantities
- Whether materials are needed
- When you’re free for the work
Post your job
Describe what needs doing and where, and we’ll aim to pass it to a suitable local tradesperson.
- One short form
- Free to post a job
- You choose whether to go ahead
- Jobs posted from anywhere in London

Built for jobs that are easy to put off
Small jobs often get stuck because they don’t feel worth the hassle of ringing round.
Say it once
One description instead of explaining the job to several people.
Free for homeowners
Posting a job costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
You stay in control
You choose whether to accept any quote you receive.
Photos help
Pictures make it easier for a tradesperson to understand the job before visiting.
Fits your diary
Tell us your preferred days and times up front, so whoever contacts you knows when suits.
Check insurance before work
Tradespeople work independently, so ask whoever contacts you for proof of insurance before agreeing to any work.
Posting a job: questions
How it works for homeowners and tenants.
Does it cost anything to post a job?
No. Posting a job is free and there’s no obligation to go ahead with anyone who contacts you.
Is this a recruitment site?
No. This page is for homeowners and tenants describing jobs they need doing. We don’t advertise employment vacancies.
Who will do the work?
An independent tradesperson. Any agreement about price, timing and workmanship is between you and them, so please check they’re right for the job before agreeing.
Is every job taken up?
We can’t guarantee it. Very small or unusual jobs may not suit anyone available, but a clear description helps.
What should I check before agreeing?
Ask for a written quote, check any qualifications relevant to the work, such as for gas or electrical jobs, and agree when payment is due.
Can I post several small jobs together?
Yes. A short list of odd jobs in one home is often easier to arrange than a single tiny task.
I’m a tenant. Can I post a job?
For repairs your landlord is responsible for, check with them first. For your own small jobs, yes.
Do you handle emergencies?
No. For gas leaks call the National Gas emergency number, and for urgent issues contact an appropriate emergency service.
Is the tradesperson insured?
Each tradesperson works independently and we can’t vouch for their cover, so ask them directly for proof of insurance and any relevant qualifications before agreeing to work.
