Long Business Description

The Home industry is a fragmented market worth a staggering £36 billion and is still not regulated.

The UK's home Improvement market still has a feeling of uncertainty for both consumers and tradespeople as everybody must put their trust in each other from the outset. This is where it can and does go wrong because this trust is being abused by the dishonest people.

This industry lacks transparency for both the consumers and tradespeople, making it difficult for them to know with whom they’re dealing with and if they can really trust them, with as many as 58% of UK homeowners currently at a loss by who to turn to for home improvements.

In this industry nobody is accountable for their actions. If anything goes wrong, both rogue traders and rogue customers can get away with it as there is no way to tell anybody.

For the tradespeople, if the customer does not pay, the tradespeople struggle to pay their bills and encounter cash flow problems in doing so. If the trades person takes them to court, it then costs them more money and if they do not have any money to pay then they are given the opportunity to set up a monthly affordable payment plan. In the meantime, the tradespeople still must pay their bills, leaving them out of pocket.

The UK home improvement market is a sector that has many issues for both the consumers and tradespeople. The sad thing is these issues have never really been addressed. This has allowed the industry to continue getting a bad reputation, based upon bad experiences that both the tradespeople and consumers continue to suffer.
Until now, welcome Koti.
Our solution
The solution to bring this fragmented industry together is to regulate all the trades people but honestly the government do not have the time or the resources to do this.
