Frequently asked questions
- Is UrgentTradie really free for customers?
- Yes, 100%. We never charge customers. You submit your emergency request, we connect you with a tradie, and you deal directly with them for payment. Our revenue comes from tradies who pay for premium listings.
- What happens after I submit an emergency request?
- Your request is immediately routed to verified tradies who cover your suburb and trade category. The assigned tradie will contact you directly — usually within minutes for urgent requests.
- What if I'm not happy with the tradie?
- Let us know. We take feedback seriously and it directly affects a tradie's standing on the platform. We can also help connect you with an alternative tradie if the first one doesn't work out.
- Do you cover after-hours emergencies?
- Yes. Many of our tradies offer 24/7 emergency services. When you submit a request, you can indicate the urgency level — Urgent (need someone now), Same Day, or Next Business Day.
