Get it built — without the cowboy risk.
Price your job in seconds, then compare quotes from identity-checked, insured trades within 50 miles. Your payment sits in escrow and only moves when you approve the work — so a bad job can never cost you the money.
Free to post & hire No card to browse Money released only when you approve
Payments run on Stripe — held in milestone escrow and never released until you approve the stage, with a 3% fee each side and a neutral dispute process if it’s not right.
Built so the work gets done right.
Most marketplaces sell a lead and disappear. We verify the people, hold the money, and only let it move when the job is approved — so both sides are protected end to end.
Only verified trades
Every tradesperson passes identity and insurance checks before they can quote. No anonymous profiles, no cowboys.
Your money held in escrow
Fund each milestone up front; the money only moves when you approve the finished stage. A clear 3% fee each side — nothing hidden.
Fair, fast disputes
If something isn’t right, either side can raise a dispute — reviewed neutrally on the evidence, with your escrow held safely meanwhile.

Join as a tradeNo catch. Here’s the honest detail.
Is it really free to post a job?+
Yes. Posting your job and comparing quotes from verified trades is completely free — no card, no subscription. You only pay for the work itself, and that goes through escrow.
How do I know a tradesperson is legitimate?+
Every trade passes identity and insurance verification (Stripe Connect KYC) before they can quote or get paid. There are no anonymous profiles, and reputation is built only from real, completed jobs.
Who actually holds my money in escrow?+
Your milestone payments are held on Stripe — the global, regulated payments provider — not spent by AxionOS. The money is ring-fenced for your job and only released to the trade when you approve the finished stage. If a stage never starts or a dispute goes your way, it comes back to you.
I'm a tradesperson — how much does a lead cost, and is it exclusive?+
There's no subscription. You only pay for the specific leads you choose to unlock — from around £3 each, depending on the job's value — and each lead is exclusive to you, never resold to a handful of other trades. You get paid to your bank through escrow when the work is signed off.
What happens if the work goes wrong?+
Your money stays in milestone escrow until you approve each stage — nothing is paid out automatically. If something isn't right, either side can raise a dispute, which is reviewed neutrally on the evidence while your funds stay protected.
When does the tradesperson actually get paid?+
Only when you approve a completed milestone. You fund a stage into escrow, the trade does the work, you sign it off, then the money is released. No proof, no payout.
What does AxionOS cost?+
Free to post and hire. When money moves through escrow there's a clear 3% fee on each side — shown up front, with nothing hidden.
Where do you operate?+
UK-wide. When you post a job we match you with verified, insured trades within 50 miles, ranked on real outcomes.
