Something wrong at home?Let's fix it.
Describe the problem in plain language. Pliers helps you understand what's happening, what to do next, and connects you to trusted local professionals if you need them.
How It Works
Tell us what's happening
No technical knowledge needed.
Get clear guidance
Pliers asks a few smart questions and explains:
- What might be causing it
- Whether it's urgent
- What you should (and shouldn't) do
- If it's safe to try fixing it yourself
Get it sorted
If you need help, Pliers generates a clear job brief and connects you to local professionals near you.
No confusion. No guessing. No endless searching.
Why Not Just Google or ChatGPT?
Because advice alone doesn't fix the problem.
ChatGPT gives information.
Pliers helps you take action.

⚠️ This could be a pressure valve issue or a tank leak. If it's the tank, it needs immediate professional attention.
Turn off the power supply and water inlet. Don't attempt to repair a tank leak yourself.

About Pliers
Every home problem, solved.
Homes are meant to feel safe. But when something goes wrong — a leaking pipe, a power failure, a broken appliance — that feeling disappears quickly. Suddenly you're searching online, calling people who don't answer, trying to figure out what's urgent and what's not.
It's stressful. It's confusing. And it shouldn't be.
Pliers was created to change that.
Why We Built Pliers
Most homeowners don't need technical knowledge. They just need clarity:
Right now, the options are scattered. Search engines give generic answers. Directories list hundreds of contractors with no context. And advice doesn't always translate into action.
Pliers brings everything into one place. We combine intelligent guidance with real-world solutions — helping you move from confusion to confidence in minutes.
What Makes Pliers Different
Pliers isn't just a directory. It's built around a simple idea:
"Understanding comes first. Action follows."
When you describe a problem, Pliers:
- Asks smart follow-up questions
- Helps you understand possible causes
- Flags safety concerns
- Suggests whether DIY is appropriate
- Connects you with local professionals if needed
It's not about overwhelming you with information. It's about helping you make the right next move.
For Homeowners. For Professionals.
Pliers also supports skilled contractors by connecting them with well-structured, clearly described jobs.
When everyone has better information:
Homeowners
feel more confident
Professionals
waste less time
Problems
get solved faster
That's better for everyone.
Our Vision
We believe every home deserves:

Because when your home works, life works better.
