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 qualified plumber looking to boost your income or make better use of your weekends, you're not alone. More and more tradespeople are seeking flexible weekend plumber jobs to top up their earnings without locking into rigid weekly commitments.

Whether you're self-employed full-time or balancing another job, the key is finding work that's local, convenient, and worth your time. That’s where Helpi makes all the difference.

Why Work Weekends as a Plumber?

The demand for weekend callouts is growing. Many homeowners work long hours during the week and prefer to book tradespeople on Saturdays or Sundays, especially for non-emergency jobs like:

Fixing slow leaks or blocked toilets
Installing new taps or bathroom fittings
Replacing kitchen pipework
Diagnosing heating issues before the Monday rush

Offering availability at weekends gives you a clear advantage. You can charge fair rates, avoid weekday traffic, and build a trusted reputation with local customers who really need a reliable tradesperson outside of typical working hours.

Here’s how it works:

No joining fees
No cost to accept jobs
No upfront charges, ever
Jobs are local to your area
