Escrow Protection

Your money is protected, every step

Funds are held securely by Stripe, our regulated payment partner—not released until you confirm the work is done and done right. Complete transparency at every stage.

How escrow protection works

1

You post a job & agree a quote

Find a tradesperson, discuss the work, and agree a fixed price or hourly rate with a guarantee.

2

Payment is protected

Funds are held securely by Stripe, not with the tradesperson. They're ring-fenced and fully protected.

3

Tradesperson completes the work

They upload before and after photos as timestamped evidence. Everything is locked and auditable.

4

You review & approve

You have 3–7 days to inspect (depending on job value). Check the work against the quote, tick off the checklist.

5

Funds release automatically

Once approved, funds move to the tradesperson's account. If you don't act, they auto-release after the window.

Dispute Resolution

What if something goes wrong?

Both sides submit evidence

Tradesperson explains their work. You submit photos, messages, and details of the issue. Everything is timestamped and locked.

Hyyryn mediates fairly

Our team reviews all evidence—photos, messages, inspection notes. We apply the job checklist and guarantee to reach a fair outcome.

Resolution within 14 days

Funds are either released, refunded, or split. You'll know the decision with full explanation. Disputes are rare; most jobs release on first approval.

Why escrow matters

Built on fairness & transparency

Funds held by Stripe, our regulated partner

Your payment is held by Stripe, our FCA-regulated partner. Protected until you authorise release. Never paid early.

Photo evidence required

Before & after photos are timestamped & locked. Both sides upload. No disputes without proof. Audit trail is complete.

Fair mediation

Disputes are reviewed thoroughly. We read the evidence, apply the guarantee, and decide fairly. Most cases resolve within days.

Auto-release protection

If you forget to approve, funds auto-release after the window. No stalled jobs. Tradespeople are never left waiting.
