My kitchen ceiling is bulging and dripping
That's water pooling above the plasterboard, likely a failed joint or an overflow upstairs. Turn your water off at the stopcock now so it doesn't spread.
Can you send one more photo from underneath? I'm lining up a vetted local plumber either way.

Handy assesses it

Handy reads what you've sent in seconds and asks a couple of quick follow-ups if it needs a clearer angle or more light.

Straight away you know what it likely is, how urgent it is, and what to do right now to stop it getting worse.

STEP 04

The right pro, if needed

If it needs a professional, we introduce the correct vetted local expert, already briefed on your problem.

Smart where it's fast. Human where it matters.

Handy gives you an assessment in seconds, and a real expert is watching over every case, stepping in the moment it's the right call. Any work itself is done by a vetted local professional with decades on the tools, never a faceless app. The technology stays in the background. You just get a calm, clear answer when something has gone wrong.

Fair questions

The bits people usually want to check.

Do I need to know what's wrong first?

No, and that's the whole point. Most people don't wake up knowing they need a plumber. They wake up to a leak, a crack or a fault and no idea who to call. Just show Handy what's happening and we'll work out what it is and who it's for.

How does sending a photo work?

Message us on WhatsApp and attach a photo, a quick video or even a voice note. We read the situation, ask a couple of follow-ups if we need a clearer angle or more light, and tell you what we think is going on.

Is it really instant, any hour?

Yes. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including the middle of the night when something has just gone wrong and every other number rings out. You get a real answer back in seconds.

Who is Handy?

Handy is our always-on first responder, the friendly guide you message on WhatsApp. Handy handles the first assessment in seconds so you're never left waiting, with a real expert overseeing every case and stepping in the moment judgement is needed. Any actual work is done by a vetted local professional with years on the tools. Think of Handy as the knowledgeable neighbour who always knows who to call.

What does it cost me?

Showing Handy the problem and getting an assessment is free, with no obligation. You only pay for work you choose to go ahead with, at the tradesperson's normal rate. Our flat 10% comes out of their side, not added on top of your bill.

What if it's an emergency?

Tell us it's urgent. We'll give you the immediate steps to make it safe, such as turning off your water or electrics, and fast-track the right local professional to you.

Where do you cover?

Bedford, Milton Keynes, Luton and across Bedfordshire, and we're growing outward from there. Not sure if you're covered? Show Handy anyway and we'll tell you straight.

Is my photo and information safe?

Yes. We only use what you send to understand and sort your problem. See our privacy policy for the detail.

Still wondering something? Just show Handy, it's free and there's no obligation.
