Simple. Transparent. Considered.
No automated matching and no bidding. A person reads your enquiry and decides who is genuinely right for it. That takes a little longer, and it is the entire point.
1Discuss your project
You answer a short set of guided questions: what the project is, where the property is, the detail specific to that type of work, and roughly what you are working to on budget and timing. It takes a few minutes and every question has a “not sure yet” option.
We explain why we ask for each piece of information, because it all goes towards making a better introduction. You can add photographs, or skip that step entirely.
2Kalvaro reviews your requirements
A member of our team reads your enquiry. Not a filter, not a scoring algorithm: a person, who considers what the project actually needs, which of our partners is genuinely suited to it, whether they cover your area, and whether they have capacity right now.
If something is unclear, we will come back to you rather than guess. Our team will review your project within one working day.
3Kalvaro introduces suitable professionals
We introduce a small number of professionals we believe are right for your project. Every one of them has been checked before joining Kalvaro: business details, public liability insurance, relevant accreditations and evidence of completed work.
Your details are only shared with the professionals we introduce to you, never sold, never broadcast.
4You choose with confidence
You speak to the professionals, get their assessment and their pricing, and decide. There is no obligation to proceed with anyone, and no pressure from us if you decide the timing is not right.
Your contract for the work is directly with the professional you choose.
What we do and do not guarantee
What Kalvaro does
- Reads every enquiry personally; nothing is matched automatically.
- Checks business details, insurance and accreditations before a professional joins.
- Introduces only professionals we believe are genuinely right for your project.
- Reviews your project within one working day.
- Shares your details only with the professionals we introduce.
- Charges property owners nothing. We are paid by our partners.
What Kalvaro does not do
- We do not carry out the work. Your contract is with the professional you choose.
- We do not guarantee workmanship. Each professional is responsible for their own work, warranties and insurance.
- We do not set or guarantee prices. Pricing is agreed directly between you and the professional.
- We do not guarantee availability. If we do not have a suitable partner, we will tell you honestly.
- We do not match instantly. Our process is human and considered, on purpose.
Frequently asked
We review your project within one working day. Making the introductions usually follows shortly after, depending on partner availability for your project type and area.
Because the answer to “who should do this work?” depends on the detail. A roof with an active leak and a roof being planned for next spring need different responses, and different professionals.
No. That is the model we were built to avoid. We introduce a small number of professionals, chosen deliberately, and your details go no further.
We will tell you honestly rather than introduce someone unsuitable. It happens, particularly with specialist or out-of-area work.
By our professional partners, never by property owners. That is why our advice to you is free and unpressured.
Established property-improvement companies can apply to become a partner. Acceptance is selective and every application is verified.
