Am I insured through Helpi?

You’re responsible for your own liability and business insurance.

Can I be removed from the platform?

Yes. Repeated complaints, no-shows, or breaches of our Terms of Service will result in suspension or removal.

How do the ratings impact me?

Your Hero Rating is visible on your profile which the customer can see – we find highly rated Heroes get more jobs and more earnings so it always pays to make a good impression with every job you do.

Will the customers be able to rate Heroes?

Yes- after every job, the customer will rate the Hero who completed it, and that rating will appear on their Helpi profile.

What if there’s a dispute?

If the dispute happens whilst you are with the customer try and settle the issue there and then. If you cannot come to an agreement contact Helpi support. We’ll review all messages, job notes, and evidence (like photos) to help resolve disputes fairly.

The job is different to the one the customer booked?

Please explain this to the customer whilst you are there and get agreement for any additional charges you may need to make – for example if the customer booked one hour but you need two hours. You will then have the ability to update the price in the app, however, note the customer also needs to confirm the price change too.

What happens if a customer cancels?

If the job is cancelled last minute, you may still be eligible for partial payment. Each case is reviewed based on our cancellation policy.

Can the customer reschedule?

Life happens – so sometimes the customer may need to reschedule. Helpi tries to minimize this by reminding customers of booked and upcoming jobs so Hero’s have less movement in their calendars.

So what does Helpi do?

The Helpi platform connects qualified trades and service professionals with thousands of customers in an easy and accessible app and offers a secure method of payment allowing you to earn when you want.

Am I employed by Helpi?

No. You’re an independent contractor, not an employee. You control your schedule, accept the jobs you want and are responsible for the work you carry out for the customer.

Can I choose which jobs to take?

Yes! You’ll be notified when new jobs are available. Accept the ones you want- there’s no obligation.

After completing a job, Helpi releases your payment (minus platform fees) to your registered bank account, typically within 3–5 working days.

What are the requirements?

You must be at least 18, have the right to work in your area, own your tools (where applicable), and hold relevant licenses or certifications.

Register on the Helpi Team app, upload your ID, any qualifications, and complete your profile. Once approved, you can start accepting jobs.

What is a Helpi Hero?

Heroes are independent professionals who use the Helpi platform to find customers and earn money by providing home services.

If you're a self-employed electrician or small electrical business looking for a steady stream of jobs without the stress of advertising, quoting, and chasing leads, subcontractor electrician work might be the ideal path for you. And thanks to platforms like Helpi, it’s never been easier to find local jobs, stay in control of your schedule, and grow your income—without paying to join or bid for work.

Here’s everything you need to know about electrician subcontractor jobs and why Helpi is changing the game for tradespeople.

What Are Electrician Subcontractor Jobs?

Subcontractor roles allow electricians to work on a per-job basis, usually supporting a main contractor or platform that secures the customer. Unlike full-time employment, you maintain flexibility—choosing when, where, and how much you want to work.

Jobs may include:

Replacing consumer units (fuse boxes)
Fault finding and electrical repairs
Wiring new builds or extensions
EV charger installations
Landlord safety checks (EICRs)
Kitchen and bathroom rewires

This type of work is perfect for those who want more freedom than a 9–5 role offers, but still want a regular, reliable income.
