Simplified Service at Your Fingertips

HandyHive is a European marketplace that connects homeowners and renters with trusted, verified local handworkers — plumbers, electricians, painters, carpenters, and more. Our mission is to make home maintenance simple, transparent, and stress-free by putting quality professionals at your fingertips.

HandyHive is expanding across Europe, with verified professionals currently active in the UK (Lancaster), Ireland (Dublin), Spain (Madrid), France (Paris & Gien), the Netherlands (Amsterdam), and North Macedonia (Skopje). New cities and countries are added regularly — search your postcode to check current availability.

HandyHive is ideal for homeowners, landlords, and renters who need reliable home-repair or maintenance work done without the hassle of cold-calling professionals. If you want upfront pricing, vetted handworkers, and a secure payment process — HandyHive is for you.

You can book a wide range of home services including plumbing, electrical work, painting & decorating, carpentry, tiling, cleaning, gardening, and general handyman tasks. Browse all available categories on our Services page to see what professionals are operating in your area.

HandyHive does not charge a platform call-out fee. However, individual handworkers may include travel or diagnostic costs in their initial quote. You will always see the total price before you confirm.

Every professional on our platform goes through a multi-step verification process. Level 1 confirms identity via email or trusted OAuth providers (Google, Facebook). Level 2 builds credibility through verified community reviews over time. Level 3 awards Skill Badges to professionals who demonstrate their expertise through portfolio evidence and on-the-job documentation.

Yes. All payments are processed through Stripe — a PCI-compliant payment platform. We hold your funds in escrow until the job is completed and you are satisfied. You are never charged before work begins, and your card details are never stored on our servers.

Our HandyHive Guarantee protects every booking. If the completed work doesn't meet professional standards, our resolution team will step in to either arrange a fix at no extra cost or issue a full refund. You can also leave a verified review to help the community.

Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled time are fully refundable. For late cancellations, a small fee may be charged to compensate the professional for their reserved time slot.

After submitting your request, you propose three available time slots. Professionals in your area who match your job can accept immediately. In most cities you can have a professional confirmed within a few hours for non-emergency work, and same-day for urgent requests where pros are available.

Yes. Once a booking is confirmed, you can message your handworker directly through the platform to clarify details, share additional photos, or coordinate access. All communication stays inside HandyHive so both parties are protected.
