How it works

Simple at every stage

Two sides, one platform. Everything structured so nothing falls through the gaps.

Post a Job Apply as a Trade

Choose your side

Whether you are a trade looking for real jobs or a client looking for a reliable professional, here is exactly what happens.

1

Browse scopes

See job type, location and scope detail before spending anything. Only real, committed client jobs reach you.

2

Unlock for £2.50

Spend a token to unlock full details and contact the client. Refunded automatically if the job does not proceed.

3

Quote, do the job, invoice

Ask questions, refine the scope, send your offer. Once accepted, the scope becomes the invoice automatically.

What you get on every scope

  • Job type, location area and structured scope detail before you spend
  • Client budget visible upfront — no wasted quotes on jobs outside your range
  • Ask questions and refine the brief before committing to a price
  • Extras signed off by the client before you proceed — no disputes
  • Invoice created automatically from the agreed scope — no admin
  • Every completed job builds your verified portfolio automatically
Why the client side matters to you: Every client pays £2.50 to post their scope. That commitment filters out tyre-kickers before a trade ever sees the brief. The job that reaches you is from someone who was serious enough to invest — not just curious.
1

Describe your job

Tell Staines what you need in plain English. The AI structures it into a proper scope — tasks, budget, timeline.

2

Post with a budget

Review and edit your scope, set your budget, then post. Verified trades in your area are matched automatically.

3

Sign off, pay, done

Approve the offer, track progress, sign off the job. Invoice created from the agreed scope — no surprises.

What you are protected by at every stage

  • Staines structures your brief — no vague conversations or misunderstood jobs
  • Scope agreed before work starts — no moving goalposts
  • Photo evidence required at job start and completion
  • Every extra must be approved by you before the trade proceeds
  • Invoice created from the agreed scope — not whatever a trade decides to charge
  • Dispute resolution built in — data is the truth, not who remembers it differently
Why the trade side matters to you: Every trade spends £2.50 to unlock your scope. That investment filters for serious professionals. The trade who contacts you has already committed — not someone who clicked a free button and moved on.
