24/7 HERO. THE HOMEOWNER'S BEST FRIEND!

Most people need access to a tradesman from time to time, whether it's to sort out a particular problem or put right a DIY disaster! Knowing we need a tradesman is the easy bit. The real problem is getting hold of one when you want one and the risk associated with dealing with people you don't know. Trade directories and websites can give you pointers but they can cost you money just to get contact information and you still won't know if you can trust the tradesman.

I thought to myself, there has to be a better way! Then one evening some friends and I decided to put our collective thoughts together and agreed we'd all prefer a service where you could make one call and someone else would do the phoning round and get a tradesman to your door and at your convenience! The more we thought about it the more we thought, why not! We then put together a business plan and managed to get the finance in place for a professional launch." The 24/7 HERO service is FREE to end user customers and there are no up-front costs for tradesmen. If the customer and tradesman agree to go-ahead, they agree terms in the normal way and the customer pays the tradesman direct. 24/7 HERO derives its revenue from a
