How it works

A small marketplace for a small radius.

We deliberately kept the circle tight. Five miles keeps drop-offs easy, keeps neighbours accountable, and keeps prices honest.

    Verify ID

    One-time ID + selfie check via Stripe Identity. You're a neighbour, not a stranger.

  2. 02

    Find tools

    Browse tools within a five-mile radius. Filter by category, price, or the day you need it.

  3. 03

    Meet neighbour

    Book, pay securely, and message the owner to arrange a quick doorstep hand-off.

  4. 04

    Return tool

    Owner confirms the tool came back in one piece. Your deposit is released automatically.

  • "Borrowed a pressure washer from three doors down. Saved £80, met a lovely neighbour, and my patio's spotless."

  • "My tile cutter earns me £40 a month sitting in the shed instead of gathering dust. Verification made me feel safe listing it."

Trust & safety

Neighborly, but not naive.

Lending real gear to real people needs real guardrails. Here's what we do so you don't have to think about it.

  • Real people, verified

    Every account clears a Stripe Identity check before they can list, book, or message.

  • Five-mile radius, server-side

    Distance is enforced in the database, not the browser. No coordinate spoofing.

  • Deposits and secure checkout

    Payments run through Stripe. Deposits are held, not spent, and released on return.

  • Nothing off-platform

    Messaging, bookings and money stay inside NeighbourHub so we can help if things go sideways.
