The problem with fixed prices
Home services are inherently variable. A "leaking tap" could be a washer replacement (15 minutes, £30) or a corroded valve stack requiring pipe work (2 hours, £200). Fixed pricing either overcharges for simple jobs or undercharges for complex ones — neither is fair.
What our AI considers
When you describe your job, our model analyses:
- •Job category and description — extracting the likely scope and materials
- •Skill level requested — Standard, Pro, or Expert carries different rate bands
- •Timing — ASAP jobs in evenings/weekends attract urgency premiums
- •London postcode — Zone 1 labour costs genuinely differ from Zone 5
- •Historical completion data — thousands of similar jobs inform the distribution
The output
Rather than a single price (which is always wrong), we give you a min–max range that captures 80% of realistic outcomes for that job. You can accept this range, narrow it, or set your own budget.
Transparency first
You always see the estimate before committing payment. Your card is pre-authorised but only charged when you confirm you're happy. If the final job falls outside the estimate, the Jobber must request your approval before proceeding.
Continuous improvement
Every completed job — with the customer-confirmed final price — feeds back into the model. The more jobs on the platform, the sharper the estimates become.
