I need a job done

A Bod is anyone who takes on jobs, from gardeners and cleaners to plumbers and builders. Pictures are illustrative, not Jobbods members.

Read the words instead

This is Jobbods. We're starting in Essex and Suffolk, and there are two sides to it. If you've got a job that needs doing, start by posting it. Say what you need and give a guide budget. It's free. One of our team checks it before it goes live. When offers come in, you'll see them in the order they arrived, oldest first. We don't rank them. You can chat with any Bod who's made an offer. Ask what's included, or when they can come. Your number and address stay hidden. When you're happy, pick your Bod. You'll pay them directly for the work. Now, if you're a Bod. Have a look at the jobs. That's free, and you don't need a subscription. Make an offer at your own price. Once you have, you can chat with the Customer and ask anything you need to. If they pick you, you'll see your connection fee before you pay. It depends on the job, and you only pay it if you've been chosen. Pay it, and the job unlocks. You get the Customer's number and address, and they get your number. Then start the conversation, and sort out the rest between you. That's Jobbods. Pop your details in below, and we'll let you know when we open.

How it works

If you need a job done

  1. Post your job. Say what you need and give a guide budget. It's free. One of our team checks it before it goes live.
  2. Get offers and chat. Offers appear in the order they arrive, oldest first. We don't rank them. Chat with any Bod who's made an offer.
  3. Pick your Bod. Choose the offer you like. Once your Bod has confirmed, you swap numbers and sort out the rest. You pay your Bod directly for the work.

If you're a Bod

  1. See the job. Look through checked jobs for free. No subscription needed.
  2. Offer and chat. Name your own price and say what's included. Once you've made an offer, you can chat with the Customer.
  3. Get picked, then unlock. If you're chosen, you'll see the exact connection fee. Pay it to unlock the Customer's details, then start the conversation.

Why Jobbods

  • Chat before you commit

    Ask questions and talk the job through on Jobbods before anyone's chosen. A chat opens as soon as a Bod makes an offer.

  • No subscription needed

    Bods can see jobs, chat and make offers for free. There's no monthly fee to get started.

  • Pay only when you're chosen

    A Bod pays a connection fee only if a Customer picks them. The fee depends on the job, and you see the exact amount before you pay.

  • Staff-checked jobs

    One of our team checks every job before it goes live. It's a sense check, not a guarantee, but it means a person has looked at it first.

  • Contact details protected

    Phone numbers and full addresses stay hidden until the chosen Bod has unlocked the job. Then you swap numbers and the Bod gets the address.

Questions

When do you open?

We're aiming for 1 December, starting in Essex and Suffolk. That's our target, not a promise. We'll email you once the date's confirmed.

Is it free to post a job?

Yes. Posting, getting offers, chatting and choosing a Bod are all free. You pay your Bod directly for the work. We may add optional extras for your job later, but you won't need one to post or choose.

What does a Bod pay?

Nothing to see jobs, chat or make offers, and no subscription is needed. If you're chosen, there's a connection fee to unlock the Customer's details. It depends on the job, and you'll see the exact amount before you pay. We'll publish the full terms, including refunds, before we open.

Does Jobbods check the Bods?

We check the jobs, not the Bods' skills. Bods confirm a mobile number, but that isn't an ID or qualifications check. So use the chat to ask about experience, insurance and anything else that matters to you.

Who can see my details?

Anyone can read your job description and see your photos once the job's live, so leave out your name, phone number and exact address. Your number and full address stay hidden until the Bod you've chosen has unlocked the job.

Does Jobbods handle payment for the work?

No. You agree the price and pay each other directly. Jobbods doesn't take, hold or protect that payment.

What kinds of job can go on Jobbods?

Most lawful jobs, from a garden tidy to bigger building work. Some work, like gas and electrics, has legal rules, so it may need extra checks first. A few kinds of job aren't allowed.

I'm outside Essex and Suffolk. Can I still sign up?

Yes. Customers go on our waiting list, and we'll let you know when we open near you. Bods can join from anywhere in the UK and choose the areas they cover.
