FAQs
Everything you wanted to ask.
Quick answers about launch, providers, payments and how LocalSkills keeps you safe.
We're going live in Hammersmith & Fulham on 27 July 2026, then rolling out across London, the wider UK, and internationally in phased waves.
Home services (cleaning, painting, handyman), personal services (piano lessons, fitness coaching, private chefs), and on-demand tasks (drivers, deliveries, one-off help) — all from vetted local providers.
Every provider passes ID verification through DeepIDV before they're allowed on the platform. Ratings and reviews help maintain quality and trust within the community after launch.
Payments run securely through Stripe, with funds held in escrow until the job is completed. Once the work is finished and confirmed, payment is automatically released to the provider.
Joining the waitlist is free. Early members in Hammersmith & Fulham will receive priority access when the platform launches.
Sign up via the waitlist and select your borough. We'll invite members in waves ahead of launch so both providers and requesters can create verified profiles, connect locally, and prepare to start using the platform once it goes live.
Our 24/7 support team and in-app dispute resolution have you covered. Because payments sit in escrow, funds aren't released until the issue is resolved fairly.
