Local jobs. Your price. No tech to learn.

How it works

1. A job request comes to you. By text or email, your choice. It shows the job, the town, the timing and the rate the homeowner picked.
2. You confirm or say no. Confirm with a time and your estimate. No reply in 24 hours and it goes to the next trade. No hard feelings.
3. The homeowner approves your estimate. Then you get the address and access details. Do the job, mark it done with a couple of before-and-after photos, and invoice them directly.

What it costs you

No trade pays a Kyneven fee on jobs completed by 31 March 2027. After that, Kyneven charges a flat fee for each completed job, set by the highest estimate the homeowner approved: £2 (under £100), £5 (£100 to £299.99), £10 (£300 to £999.99) or £20 (£1,000 or more). There's no fee if you decline the job, the homeowner declines your estimate, or the job is cancelled. No commission, no lead fees, no subscription. We'll give you at least 3 months' notice of any change to the fee. Founding trades then pay no Kyneven fee on their first 5 completed jobs, and that allowance doesn't expire while their account stays open.

Kyneven doesn't hold payment for the work. You're paid by the homeowner, on the terms you agree with them, and you can still ask for a deposit for materials.

Straight up: we're new, so jobs may take a while to come through. Kyneven is built for how people will find trades next, and it'll grow over time. That's why it's worth joining early.

Built for people who'd rather be working

• You don't need an app to join the interest list. Requests come the way you already talk to customers.
• An easy yes for homeowners. They approve your estimate before anything goes ahead, and they pay you directly.
• Your rates, always. You set your hourly, minimum, day and out-of-hours rates. We never set or cut your price. A homeowner can still say no, like any customer, but we never push your price down.
• Your price, your call. Counter-offer if a job needs more, and say why. The homeowner says yes or no.
• Your towns, your days. Out-of-hours work only if you switch it on, at your own higher rate.
• Reviews from your first job. Every homeowner is asked for a review after every completed job. Founding trades get a 90-day head start in search results and job offers once homeowner requests open in their area.
• What we ask: a public liability insurance certificate with at least £1m cover (a photo is fine), your rates and the towns you cover. No certificate, no listing. That's fair on everyone.

Leave your email and we'll email you once, when sign-ups open. It doesn't sign you up or hold a founding place. Only the email is needed.
