How it works

Simple, safe, and local

FyxLocal connects job posters who need practical help with trusted local Helpers. Here's exactly how it works — for both sides.

For Job Posters

Getting help

  1. 1

    Post your job for free

    Describe the task, add photos if helpful, set your budget (fixed price or hourly), pick a date, and choose your urgency level. It takes under 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Review applications

    Verified local Helpers apply with a personal message and their quote. Browse their profiles, check their reviews, and message them directly to ask questions.

  3. 3

    Accept and book

    Choose the Helper you like best and accept their application. The job moves to booked status and both sides get a confirmation.

  4. 4

    Pay securely

    Pay through FyxLocal. Your money is held in escrow until the job is complete — the Helper never receives payment until you confirm the work is done.

  5. 5

    Confirm and review

    Mark the job complete and leave an honest review. Your review helps other job posters and rewards great Helpers.

For Helpers

Starting to earn

  1. 1

    Create your profile

    Sign up for free, set your display name, write a bio, and list the services you offer. Tell job posters how far you're willing to travel and what your hourly or day rate is.

  2. 2

    Complete ID verification

    Upload a copy of your driving licence or passport. Our admin team reviews it and approves your profile within 24 hours. You won't appear in listings until verified.

  3. 3

    Browse and apply

    See open jobs that match your skills and location. Apply with a short message and your proposed price. Job posters can reply to message you directly.

  4. 4

    Communicate and confirm

    Use the in-app messaging to agree on details, access instructions, and timing. Once accepted, the job is formally booked.

  5. 5

    Complete the work and get paid

    Do the job, mark it complete, and the job poster confirms. Your payout (job value minus 10% platform fee) is sent to your bank via Stripe — usually within 2 business days.

Trust & safety

Every feature of FyxLocal is designed to protect both job posters and Helpers.

ID verification

Every Helper submits a government-issued ID before appearing in any listing. Our team reviews each submission manually.

Verified reviews

Only users who have completed a paid booking can leave a review. No fake reviews — ever.

Escrow payments

Job poster payments are held securely and only released to the Helper once both parties confirm the job is done.

In-app messaging

All communication happens inside FyxLocal. We keep a record for dispute resolution if anything goes wrong.

Simple, transparent fees

We keep it simple. No subscriptions, no hidden costs.

For Job Posters

£4.99

One-off admin fee per booking. Job posting is always free.
