A recommender can earn £5 if you Yuse their tradesperson and confirm the recommendation was accurate.

Finding a tradesperson shouldn't be this hard.

  • Asking in the group chat

    Answers get buried, and a phone number on its own doesn't tell you much.

  • Posting on a job site

    You can't tell who's behind the reviews, and the calls and emails don't stop.

  • Asking on Yuse

    One link in the chats you're already in. Answers land in one place, each with the name of whoever recommended them. Only the ones you pick get your number.

How it works

  1. Tell Yuse what needs doing

    Describe the job in your own words. Yuse writes it up and shows roughly what it should cost. Only you see the estimate.

  2. Friends recommend who they've used

    Share your link in any WhatsApp chat: family, school, your street. Friends choose a tradesperson they've used and add a line about them.

  3. Pick who you want

    See who's behind every recommendation and pick up to three. When one of them chooses to get your details, you each get the other's WhatsApp.

Why ask on Yuse

  • Recommendations, all in one place

    Your friends and neighbours already know tradespeople they'd use again. Yuse brings their recommendations together in one place, ready whenever you need them. No more searching old WhatsApp messages or asking the same question twice.

  • Know who recommends them

    Every recommendation comes from someone in your network, or someone responding to your link. See who has recommended each tradesperson, and ask them about it.

  • Your number stays yours

    Choose up to three tradespeople to contact you. Only the ones you pick get your number, and only when they choose to respond.

  • Free for homeowners

    Asking around should never cost you anything. Tradespeople pay once to get your details, and only if you pick them.

A little thank you for a good recommendation

When a recommendation leads to a job, the friend who made it can earn £5.

You confirm the job is complete and the recommendation was accurate before any money is paid. One £5 reward per job, and always your decision.

How the £5 works

Asked for a recommendation?

A friend sent you a Yuse link? Tap it and recommend a tradesperson you've used. Add a line about them if you like. It takes a minute, and there's nothing to download.

Only recommend people you've used yourself. You can earn £5 if your friend uses them and confirms your recommendation was accurate.

For tradespeople

Questions

Is Yuse free?

Yes, for homeowners and for friends who recommend. Tradespeople pay once to get a homeowner's details, and that's how Yuse makes money.

Who pays the £5?

Yuse pays it, not you or the tradesperson. After the job, you choose which recommender earns it, once you've confirmed the job was done and their recommendation was accurate. One £5 per job.

Who gets my phone number?

Only the tradespeople you pick, three at most, and only once they've chosen to get your details. Nobody else gets it from Yuse.

Why is it invite-only?

We're starting with friends and family so we can get it right before anyone else joins. If a friend sends you their link, you can join from it.

What if my friends haven't used anyone?

Your link works in any WhatsApp chat, and it can be passed on, so friends of friends can answer too.

Does Yuse recommend tradespeople?

No. Your people do. Yuse never ranks anyone or puts anyone first.

Where does Yuse work?

Anywhere in the UK. Cost estimates use London prices for a London postcode and UK prices everywhere else.
