"Booked an emergency electrician at 11pm on a Sunday — turned up by 8am Monday, fixed two consumer-unit faults, and the price matched the quote exactly. I genuinely don't know how we managed before this."

"I run a small letting agency with 40-odd properties. Stethiano has cut the time we spend coordinating contractors by maybe two-thirds. Escrow is the killer feature — tenants and landlords both feel protected."

"Joined as an artisan last year. The flow of leads is brilliant — what I really appreciate is that customers arrive having already paid into escrow, so it's never a question of chasing payment. Steady, fair work."

When you book, your payment is taken and held by Modulr — our FCA-regulated payment partner. Funds aren't released to the artisan until you confirm the job is complete and you're happy. If anything goes wrong, you can raise a dispute and our team will mediate.
Every artisan completes ID verification, provides proof of trade certification (e.g. Gas Safe, NICEIC), and where relevant a DBS check. We also review their first 5 jobs closely to ensure quality.
Cancellations more than 24 hours before the booking are fully refunded. Within 24 hours, a 20% callout fee applies. The artisan never sees your money until the job is approved.
For customers, booking is free. We charge artisans a small service fee on each completed job (typically 8–12%), which covers payment processing, dispute insurance, and the platform.
Yes — we serve 28 cities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Coverage is densest in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
