How it works

Four steps. No phone calls.

  1. 01

    Say what you need

    Type it the way you’d say it, or pick a service. Add where and when.

  2. 02

    See who can help

    Businesses that do the job, reach your area and have time.

  3. 03

    Choose a time

    A fixed time, an arrival window, morning or afternoon. Whatever suits that job.

  4. 04

    Book, then get on with your day

    You’ll see the business’s details and what happens next. Payment for the work is between you and them.

Every job is different

Each service books the way it works.

A hairdresser has slots. A plumber has a window. A big job needs a quote. GYC shows the right kind of booking for each, so nobody has to pretend.

Fixed time

Pick the exact time.

For example Tutors, hairdressers, driving lessons

Arrival window

Pick a window. They arrive inside it.

For example Electricians, engineers, repairs

Morning or afternoon

Choose the half of the day.

For example Cleaners, painters, gardeners

Visit first

Book the visit. The price follows the inspection.

For example Leaks, faults, anything nobody can price from a photo

Quote first

Describe the job. Get a quote, then decide.

For example Kitchens, extensions, bigger projects

As soon as possible

Urgent? Say so, and see who can come soonest.

For example Burst pipes, lockouts, no heating

Know what you’re booking

A booking confirms the visit, not a surprise bill.

If a job can’t be priced until someone sees it, you’ll see that before you book. A visit is a visit. A quote is a quote. Bigger work is agreed separately.

Before you say yes

Know who’s coming.

Letting someone into your home, your car or your diary takes trust. Every business will have a clear profile, and nothing on it will be made up.

  • Who they are

    Business name and what they do.

  • Where they work

    The area they cover, so you only see people who can reach you.

  • What you’re booking

    A visit, a lesson or a quote, and what it doesn’t include.

  • What others say

    Reviews will appear once real bookings have happened. Not before.

Questions

When can I use GYC?

It’s coming soon. Launch places and services will be announced here when they’re confirmed.

Do I pay GYC?

You pay the business directly for the work, as you do now. GYC doesn’t take payment for the job.

Does a booking fix the price?

A booked visit or lesson confirms that appointment. If a job needs inspecting or quoting first, you’ll see that before you book.

What if nobody is free?

You’ll find out straight away, instead of after an afternoon of calls.
