Find more handyman work across the UK
Small jobs add up. Arkadia Connect sends alerts for handyman work in your area, so you can pick up flat-pack assembly, shelves, curtain poles and odd jobs as a sole trader, and reply to the ones that suit your day.
Jobs customers post for handyman work
Handyman customers usually post short, practical jobs. Typical examples include:
- Flat-pack furniture assembly
- Hanging shelves, pictures, mirrors and curtain poles
- Re-sealing around baths, sinks and showers
- Small fixes, such as a loose door handle or a sticking drawer
- A list of odd jobs done in one visit
What customers ask handymen
Customers who ask a handyman questions before they book often want to know about the following:
- Whether you can do several small jobs in one visit, and how that is priced
- Whether you bring your own tools and fixings
- How soon you can come, and roughly how long the visit will take
- Whether a job is within what you offer, for example when it needs a registered gas or electrical trade
- Whether you carry public liability insurance, which is optional on Arkadia Connect
How job alerts work for you
Small jobs are usually local, so an accurate base postcode matters. Your alerts follow your base postcode and the trade categories you choose.
Arkadia Connect is new, and open to traders across the UK. The jobs you see depend on what customers post in your trades and area.
Plans and prices
Pick the plan that fits the area you work in. Pay monthly, or pay yearly to save. There are no charges per lead.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile | £9.99 | £99.90 | Profile only, no job alerts |
| Starter | £19.99 | £199.90 | Job alerts for up to 2 trade categories within about 10 miles |
| Pro | £39.99 | £399.90 | Job alerts within about 30 miles |
| Unlimited | £59.99 | £599.90 | Nationwide job access and unlimited trade categories |
Only up to 3 traders can take up each job, so you are not competing with a crowd. Starter covers 2 trade categories, so you can choose the small-job work you want to be alerted about.
No jobs, no charge
If no job matching your trades and area is posted during a full calendar month of your paid plan, your next month is free.
Applies to monthly Starter, Pro and Unlimited plans (not the Profile plan). A matching job is one posted on Arkadia Connect in one of your trade categories and within your plan's area. Your account must be approved and active for the whole calendar month. The free month is applied to your next monthly payment. For yearly plans, we add one free month to the end of your plan instead. It can't be exchanged for cash. Read the full terms
You can pause a monthly plan for 1 or 2 months, up to 2 months a year, from your dashboard. You will not be charged while paused.
Free profile setup: tick the box when you sign up and we'll call you to set it up.
