From photo to booked tradie.
Three steps. You never ring anyone.
01
Scan it.
Take a photo or describe the problem. Mendy works out what's wrong, how urgent it is, and whether it's something you can safely fix yourself.
02
Mendy rings around.
We ring local tradies for you and bring their quotes back, with each tradie's credentials beside their price and the source of every check.
03
Book it. Free.
Pick a quote and book. You pay the tradie directly, at the price they quoted. Mendy adds no commission and no mark-up.
See who you're booking, and what we checked.
Each tradie on your shortlist shows what we checked and where. ABN status from the Australian Business Register, refreshed weekly. For licensed trades like plumbing and electrical, the licence is checked against the state register.
How the checks work ›Some jobs don't need a tradie. Mendy says so.
When a fix is safe to do yourself, you get the steps, not a sales pitch. When it isn't, Mendy tells you why and finds someone qualified instead.
Browse the fix library ›Use it wherever you already are.
On your phone, on the web, or inside Claude as a connector, with ChatGPT next once our app is approved. Same tradies, same quotes, nothing to pay Mendy.
