Sydney Handyman Pros FAQ: Customer Questions
These are the questions homeowners ask us most on the Sydney Handyman Pros FAQ page — if you're new here, this is the fastest way to understand how it works before you submit anything.
Is it free to submit a job request?
Yes, always. Submitting a job request costs nothing and never requires an account. We're matchmakers, not providers — we introduce you to a tradie, and what you pay for the actual work is agreed directly between the two of you.
How fast will a tradie contact me?
It varies by suburb and job type — sometimes within minutes, sometimes within a day. Your request goes out by SMS to matching local tradies the moment you submit it, and the first to accept reaches out directly. See what happens after you submit for the full picture.
What areas do you cover?
Sydney Handyman Pros covers suburbs right across greater Sydney, and coverage keeps growing. Check Areas We Serve to find yours — if it's not fully active yet, submitting a request still gets you matched the moment coverage catches up.
What if a tradie doesn't show up, or something goes wrong?
Tell us. We track reports so patterns get caught, and a tradie who consistently doesn't follow through stops receiving leads. Because you were never charged by the platform in the first place, there's nothing financial to dispute — just a quality issue worth flagging.
Can I request an emergency job?
Yes, but only select Emergency for genuine urgent safety issues — burst pipes, no power, security risks. Misuse can affect response priority for someone with a real emergency, so please be accurate when choosing job nature on the Job Request page.
Sydney Handyman Pros FAQ: Tradie Questions
The most common question on this Sydney Handyman Pros FAQ page, from tradies, is about cost — so let's start there.
What does it cost to join, and what do leads cost?
Nothing, and nothing — ever. Every lead through Sydney Handyman Pros is free, always. No subscription, no per-lead charge, no invoice. This isn't a trial or an introductory offer; it's the permanent way this platform works for every approved tradie. A lead is only ever an opportunity to quote a job, not guaranteed work, so we don't think it's fair to charge for the chance. Full detail is on our Terms & Conditions page.
Do you take a commission from jobs I complete?
No. We're matchmakers, not providers — we never touch the tools, never quote the job, and never take a cut of what you charge the customer. What happens after a lead is accepted is between you and them.
How do I become an approved tradie?
Register through Join As Tradie with your ABN and details. Once approved, you start receiving job leads by SMS for your selected trade and coverage area — the full process is on How It Works.
How do you decide which tradie gets the job?
First to accept, gets it. There's no ad-spend ranking, no paid placement, and no priority queue for tradies who've spent more with us — because tradies don't spend anything with us. Up to five tradies can accept against a single job before it's considered filled.
Can I unsubscribe from lead notifications?
Yes, any time — reply STOP to any SMS and you'll be opted out. You can also contact us directly if you'd rather we handle it manually.
