Escrow protected — every payment on Hyyryn is held securely until you approve the work.

How it works
How it works · Three gateways

Your money, protected from the first pound.

Every job on Hyyryn passes through three gateways. Your payment is held securely by Stripe until the work is done and you've signed it off. No deposits at risk. No bad invoices. No chasing anyone.

The three gateways

Three gateways. One protected trade.

Every failure in the UK trades industry happens between the gates. We built three checkpoints so your money only moves when you're ready, and every pound is protected at each stage.

gateway i

Describe your job. Pick your tradesperson.

Post what you need in plain English, or pick a category — it takes about 90 seconds. Verified tradespeople in your area reply with fixed-price quotes. You read reviews, check credentials and choose who you trust.

90 seconds to post
What happens
  • Pick from 40+ trade categories or describe a custom job
  • Upload photos or a short video — tradespeople quote smarter
  • Only ID-verified, insured tradespeople can quote
  • Message anyone before you commit — no contact fees
  • Pick the right tradesperson, not the lowest bid
gateway ii

Pay securely. Hold the line.

Pay the agreed price — held securely by Stripe, not paid to the tradesperson. Your tradesperson can see the funds are committed, so they start work. You sleep easy knowing your money is protected until the job is done.

Ring-fenced & protected
What happens
  • Funds held securely via Stripe Connect
  • Ring-fenced — Hyyryn never touches a penny
  • Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or direct transfer
  • Full refund if the tradesperson never starts
  • Zero deposits at risk — by design
gateway iii

Inspect. Release. Rest.

Check the work. If it's right, one tap releases payment to your tradesperson. If something's off, open a dispute — Hyyryn reviews the evidence and applies pre-agreed resolution rules. Most disputes resolve within days, not weeks. No lawyers. No drama.

Paid the same day you release
What happens
  • Tradespeople paid the same day you release
  • 14-day dispute window on every job
  • Free dispute resolution if you need it
  • Partial releases if partial work is done
  • Leave a review — shape the trust for everyone else

Why it matters

Why escrow changes everything.

The UK trades industry loses £1.4bn a year to deposit fraud and unpaid invoices. Escrow fixes the two sides of that problem at once.

No cowboy risk

The tradesperson can see the money exists before they pick up a spanner — so they show up. Real jobs only.

100% of funds held until sign-off

No bad invoices

You never pay for something that didn't happen. Work is inspected before the money moves.

£0 lost to deposit fraud

Free dispute resolution

If the job goes sideways, Hyyryn reviews the evidence and makes the call. No lawyers needed.

<14d maximum resolution
Questions answered

Frequently asked.

1 Is my money actually safe?

Yes. Funds are held securely via Stripe Connect, ring-fenced from Hyyryn's own accounts. We can't spend it, we can't lose it — your money stays protected until you release it.

2 Why three gateways?

Every failure in the UK trades industry happens between the gates — dodgy deposits, half-finished jobs, disputes with nowhere to go. Three checkpoints mean your money only moves when you're ready.

3 What does Hyyryn cost?

Posting a job is free, and so is everything else for homeowners. There is no fee on top of your tradesperson’s quote. Tradespeople pay a 5% Completion Commission. No subscriptions, no hidden extras. See the pricing page.

4 What if the work is bad?

Don't release the funds. Open a dispute. Hyyryn reviews photos, messages and evidence — most disputes resolve within days. Funds are then released, partially released, or refunded. Maximum resolution window is 14 days.

5 How do you verify tradespeople?

ID verification, proof-of-address, insurance check, and qualification proof where relevant — Gas Safe, NICEIC, City & Guilds. Plus sanctions and fraud checks before activation.

6 How fast do tradespeople get paid?

The same day the client releases the payment. Funds land in your linked bank account within a few hours — one to two working days at most.

Ready when you are

Walk through the gate.

It takes 90 seconds to post a job. Funds never leave your control until you're happy.
