What people say
Real hires. Real results.
Needed a decent pressure washer for a weekend. Found one half a mile away for £35 a day — saved me buying one I'd use twice. Lister was brilliant, dropped it off on Saturday morning.
I'd been trying to find someone to sort my flat for months. Found Sarah on here, she had three hours free that Thursday and sorted everything on my list. The rating system means you actually know who you're getting.
Hired the JBLs for my daughter's 18th. Tom was absolutely spot on — helped with the setup guide beforehand over message, collected same day. The whole thing cost about a fifth of what a hire company wanted.
I've got £3k of gear sitting in my garage that I use maybe a few times a year. Last month I made £420 just from the drill and the scaff tower. It's genuinely passive income and takes minutes to manage.
I top up my income between jobs through here. I set my available hours, people find me, they pay through the site and I get the money same week. No chasing invoices, no faff.
Moving flat on a Sunday with short notice. Had someone booked within 20 minutes. Turned up on time, no complaints, half the price of a removal firm. Exactly what this app is for.
