tickover
How it works

A platform that thinks about your home so you don’t have to.

Tickover replaces four things at once: the chaotic Google search for a tradesperson, the spreadsheet you keep meaning to start, the 7am panic when something breaks, and the £656 survey you book just to answer one question.

For homeowners

Tell us about your home once.

  1. Home profile

    01

    Walk through your home

    Postcode, property type, boiler, radiators, bedrooms, bathrooms, gas meter, electricity meter. Then scan your EPCs, warranties and gas certs; the AI reads them and builds your property record for free.

  2. Calendar

    02

    Get your maintenance calendar

    We map the recurring jobs your home needs, boiler service, gutters, lawn, timed to when they actually need doing. Reminders arrive at exactly the right moment.

  3. Reminder

    03

    When something breaks, or you just need an answer

    Tap the item. We surface vetted local trades who already know your boiler model and postcode. Get quotes, accept one, book the visit.

  4. Booked

    04

    After the job

    Photos before and after. Pay through the app. Mutual review, you rate them, they rate you. Ten months later we'll nudge you to rebook the same person for the annual service.

For tradespeople

Repeat work, in your patch, on your schedule.

  1. Home profile

    01

    Apply

    Tell us your trade(s), the postcodes you cover, and upload your certifications. Gas Safe, NICEIC, public liability, whatever's relevant.

  2. Verified

    We verify

    A real human checks your numbers against the Gas Safe Register and NICEIC, calls two recent customers, and approves you within 24 hours — usually much faster.

FAQ

The honest answers.

Is Tickover free for homeowners?

Yes, the core app is free forever. We earn from a monthly subscription trades pay after their free trial, and from referral fees when homeowners switch energy or broadband. Never from paywalling your safety reminders.

How are tradespeople vetted?

ID check, insurance check, certification check (Gas Safe / NICEIC where relevant), plus we phone two recent customers. The ones we approve get a verified badge.

What does it cost a tradesperson?

£49/month after the first 3 months free. Any month with no jobs to quote on is automatically free. No per-job cut, no leads to buy. Optional Tickover Pro at £24/mo unlocks the AI quote, voice-to-quote and invoicing stack.

What if I don't know my boiler model?

Skip it. Most onboarding fields are optional, and scanning the boiler badge photo does most of the work for us.

How does pricing work for repairs?

Tradespeople quote on each job. You see fixed prices up front before accepting. No surprise call-out fees, no time-and-materials black holes.
