❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is Unlimited Gig different from TaskRabbit?
A: TaskRabbit is a lead-gen platform where you post jobs and receive quotes. Unlimited Gig is a fully managed marketplace where you book verified professionals directly with transparent, fixed pricing. We also have stronger DBS verification and payment escrow.

Q: Can I negotiate the price?
A: No. Our transparent, fixed pricing means no haggling. The professional's rate is set, and you see it upfront. This prevents disputes and ensures fairness.

Q: What if I want multiple quotes?
A: You can browse multiple professionals and compare their rates, reviews, and expertise. You'll see all their pricing upfront, so you can choose the best option without requesting quotes.

Q: Is my payment really protected?
A: Yes, 100%. Your payment is held in escrow and not released to the professional until you confirm the work is complete. If there are issues, we can investigate and resolve.

Q: Why do you do DBS checks on every professional?
A: Safety is our top priority. Unlike competitors who rely on self-reported credentials or customer reviews alone, we conduct full government-backed DBS checks on every professional.

Q: How quickly can I get a professional?
A: Many services are available same-day. You can book for today or weeks in advance. Some professionals allow you to request your preferred time, and they'll respond with availability.

Q: What makes Unlimited Gig UK-first?
A: We were built specifically for British homeowners by a UK team. We understand UK homes, comply with UK regulations (GDPR, employment law), use GBP pricing, and our support team is UK-based.

Q: Is it really 24/7 support?
A: Live chat is 24/7. Email support responds within 24 hours. Phone support is available Monday–Friday 9 AM–5 PM. Safety alerts are prioritized immediately anytime.

Q: What about disputes?
A: Disputes are resolved fairly within 48 hours. Our team reviews evidence, messages, and work photos. Because payment is in escrow, we can investigate thoroughly before releasing funds.

Q: Can I work with the same professional again?
A: Absolutely. If you're happy, you can request them for future bookings. Many customers build long-term relationships with their preferred professionals.
