Introduction
Finding trustworthy home services in the UK can feel stressful. When you need a plumber, electrician, or builder, you want safety. You want quality and honesty.
Addressing the #1 homeowner anxiety about trades is our main goal at Helpi Life. Homeowners worry about letting strangers into their homes. They worry about poor work. They worry about hidden costs.
We built Helpi Life to fix this exact problem. We protect you at every step. We evaluate every worker thoroughly before they become part of Helpi. But becoming a Helpi hero is hard. Only 12% of tradespeople who apply make it onto Helpi. Here is the path every pro walks before they touch a customer's home.
Trust is earned. It is never given for free. In the past, finding reliable tradespeople meant asking neighbours for phone numbers. It meant taking a risk on random online directories. Today, modern homeowners expect transparency.
When you book a tradesperson online, you deserve total confidence. You need verified professionals who treat your home with respect. Unvetted workers can cause costly damage. In some cases, they can leave jobs unfinished. In the worst cases, they can even put your family at risk.
Helpi Life changes the standard. We take away the guesswork. We do the heavy lifting for you. Our safety checks are strict. They leave zero room for error. When a Helpi hero knocks on your door, you know they are qualified, insured, and safe.
Only 1 in 4 tradespeople who apply make it onto Helpi Life. Here is what every hero goes through before joining our network.
STEP 01- Identity & Address
Passport or driving licence. We verify legal identity and current UK address to ensure total accountability.
STEP 02- DBS Check
Background screening. We review criminal records to ensure your family's safety and security.
STEP 03- Qualifications
Trade-specific certs. We inspect official certificates, diplomas, and industry accreditations.
STEP 04- Insurance
£2m public liability cover. Every hero carries robust insurance to protect your property against accidents.
STEP 05- References
Past clients and employers. We speak directly with previous customers to check reliability and workmanship.
STEP 06- Skills Test
Trade-specific exam. Our experts test practical abilities to ensure top-tier craftsmanship.
STEP 07- Live on Helpi
Rated after every job. Continuous monitoring ensures heroes maintain high standards on every single task.
Are all Helpi heroes insured?
Yes. Every tradesperson on our platform holds active public liability insurance of up to £2m to protect your home against unexpected damage.
What percentage of applicants pass the Helpi check?
Only 12% (depending on trade standards) make it onto the platform. We reject applicants who fail even a single vetting stage.
What happens after I place my request?
Once you request the service, a qualified trade professional confirms the booking, and you are introduced to your assigned professional before they visit your home on time to complete the job and get rated.
Rather leave it to a pro?
Book a verified Pro at a fixed price. Most jobs sorted same day — and you only pay once it's done right.
