How it works
A small marketplace for a small radius.
We deliberately kept the circle tight. Five miles keeps drop-offs easy, keeps neighbors accountable, and keeps prices honest.

Get seen by the neighbors who actually need you.
Plumbers, sparkies, gardeners, decorators. A small monthly subscription puts you in front of verified people within five miles — no lead-gen games, no bidding wars.
Trust & safety
Neighborly, but not naive.
Lending real gear to real people needs real guardrails. Here's what we do so you don't have to think about it.
Real people, verified
Every account clears a Stripe Identity check before they can list, book, or message.
Five-mile radius, server-side
Distance is enforced in the database, not the browser. No coordinate spoofing.
Deposits and secure checkout
Payments run through Stripe. Deposits are held, not spent, and released on return.
Nothing off-platform
Messaging, bookings and money stay inside Hello Neighbour so we can help if things go sideways.
Your street already owns the tools. Let's share them.
