How five providers turned a side hustle into their main income
We followed five UnlimitedGig providers across three months to see what actually separates a steady £600-a-week schedule from an inconsistent one.

What's actually changing
Product releases, policy updates, and milestones — in plain language, in order.
Five thousand verified tradespeople are now taking bookings through the app across the UK, up from 1,200 a year ago. Plumbing, cleaning, and electrical remain our three fastest-growing categories.
Company milestoneApplications are open in Reading, Southampton, Derby, York, Sunderland, and Cardiff. Approved providers in these areas get priority visibility on new bookings for their first 60 days.
ExpansionProviders with more than one booking a day can now see suggested job ordering based on drive time, so back-to-back appointments across town don't eat into paid hours.
Product updateEvery booking made through the app is now covered up to £1 million in accidental damage protection, up from £250,000, at no extra cost to providers or customers.
Policy updateWe moved payout processing earlier in the week so weekly earnings land in provider accounts by Friday morning instead of end of day — useful for anyone paying bills over the weekend.
Product updateOur latest provider satisfaction survey put support responsiveness and payout reliability as the two most-cited reasons providers stay active on the platform.
Company milestoneNeed cash sooner than Friday? Providers can now cash out completed job earnings instantly for a flat £1 fee, on top of the free weekly payout.
Product updateShort, self-paced courses on customer communication, basic electrical safety, and pricing strategy are now free for all verified providers, with a badge added to your profile on completion.
Policy updateProvider support is now staffed until 10pm on weekdays and across weekends, after feedback that most on-site issues happen outside standard office hours.
