For homeowners
How do I post a job?
Tap Post a job, choose the type of trade, describe what needs doing, add up to six photos, and pick your parish or a saved address. Matching trades are notified straight away.
Is Islefix free?
Yes. Posting jobs, getting quotes, chatting and booking are free for homeowners. You pay the trade directly for the work.
How are trades verified?
Before a trade can quote, our team checks their public liability insurance, relevant qualifications and photo ID, and for off-island businesses their licence to trade in Guernsey. We re-check documents when they expire. Verification is a useful check, not a guarantee, so always agree the price and details before work starts.
When does a trade see my address?
Only after you book them. Before that, trades see the job description, photos and your parish. Your address is shared only with the trade you book.
How do I cancel or rearrange a booking?
Open the booking and tap Cancel booking, or message the trade in the chat to agree a new time. If you cancel, your job reopens so other trades can quote again.
Something went wrong with a job. What should I do?
First message the trade in the app; most problems are sorted that way. If that doesn’t work, email us with the job title, the trade’s name, what happened, and any photos. We’ll look into it and can suspend trades who break our terms.
