MyBuilder

What MyBuilder does

MyBuilder is a UK-based online marketplace that connects homeowners seeking home and garden improvement services with local tradespeople. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in London at 1st Floor, 100 St. John Street, the platform enables homeowners to post jobs for free and receive interest from vetted tradespeople across 40+ trade categories, including roofing, bathroom fitting, plumbing, electrical, and handyman services. The product is delivered via a web platform and dedicated iOS and Android applications for both homeowners and tradespeople, with supporting features such as the Ask a Tradesperson Q&A community, price guides, identity and skills verification, and a customer review and rating system (1–5 stars).

The underlying technology centers on a job-posting and matching engine that notifies tradespeople whose skills and location match new postings, combined with a review infrastructure that has accumulated 2,815,797 customer reviews and an average platform rating of 4.7 out of 5 (based on 2025 data). Tradespeople are screened via ID documents, company details, regulated-job certifications, and skills assessments before joining. The platform is integrated with Stripe for payments and Cloudflare, Cookiebot, Google, Microsoft, Meta, TikTok, and Taboola for analytics, advertising, and security.

The business model is a classic two-sided marketplace with freemium dynamics on the demand side. Homeowners post and browse jobs at no cost; tradespeople register for free and pay a transaction fee only when they are shortlisted by a homeowner to access that customer's contact details. The platform serves roughly 90,000 homeowner jobs per month in 2025 across a base of 284,406 tradespeople. MyBuilder Limited is a privately held UK company wholly owned by Angi Inc., the publicly listed US home services group that operates sister marketplaces in the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria, and Italy.

Broad incumbents

• HomeAdvisor: US home services marketplace also under Angi Inc. Operates the same core pro-matching and lead-generation model as MyBuilder, serving as the primary US counterpart.
• Houzz: Home remodeling platform combining inspiration content, marketplace directory of pros, and e-commerce. Overlaps with MyBuilder on the pro directory and lead-gen layer, though broader in scope.
• Angi (formerly Angie's List): Parent company of MyBuilder and the leading US home services marketplace. Comparable marketplace mechanics and trade verticals but a much larger geographic and revenue footprint; MyBuilder is effectively Angi's UK arm.

Direct peers

• Bark: Global services marketplace covering home improvement and adjacent professional services. Directly comparable pay-per-lead model serving homeowners and small businesses with comparable GTM.
• Thumbtack: US home services marketplace connecting customers with local professionals. Same fundamental marketplace mechanics, take rate, and prosumer trust model, though operating in a larger US market.
• Rated People: UK marketplace where homeowners post jobs and tradespeople quote. Closely comparable model, customer segments (UK homeowners and tradespeople), and per-lead monetisation mechanics.
• Checkatrade: UK home services marketplace connecting homeowners with vetted tradespeople. Direct competitor with overlapping value proposition (verification, reviews, lead generation) and similar two-sided monetisation against tradespeople.
• TrustATrader: UK directory and marketplace for tradespeople with verification and reviews. Targets the same homeowner-tradesperson match flow in the UK with comparable trust-led positioning.

Regional players

• Instapro: Italian sister platform under Angi Inc. running the same MyBuilder-style matching model. Relevant as an Angi-family regional comparable and reference point for the playbook MyBuilder could pursue.
• Werkspot: Dutch sister platform under Angi Inc. offering the same homeowner-tradesperson matching model in the Netherlands. Highly comparable product and monetisation, operating in a different European geography.
