How Ashnight works

Ashnight is closed by design. Both sides of every booking are vetted by a person before they can message anyone, and all scheduling and payment stays on the platform so there's always a record.

For clients

01

Apply

Tell us about your property, the ash you need and how often. Upload a government ID for verification.

02

Get vetted

Our trust & safety team reviews your application by hand. No automated approvals, ever.

03

Subscribe to a room

Clients choose a paid room — Basic, Premium or Ultimate. Your room decides which specialists you can book and how fast you can schedule.

04

Scope the job in chat

Message a specialist, share photos of the space, and agree on exactly what's included.

05

Call or video walkthrough

Premium and Ultimate members can start a voice or video call in the thread for a live walkthrough.

06

Request, pay, done

Hit Request service in the chat, review the itemised quote, and pay. Funds release after you confirm the job is complete.

For specialists — the vetting pipeline

Specialists never pay to join Ashnight. There's no membership fee and no application charge — you're placed in a room after vetting and earn from every booking, minus the platform fee.

  1. 1

    Application & interview

    Work history, specialisms, insurance status and availability, followed by a video interview with our team.

  2. 2

    ID & background check

    Government ID verification plus a background check. Anything flagged is reviewed by trust & safety before a decision.

  3. 3

    Reference calls

    We call previous clients or employers directly. Ultimate placement requires at least three clean references.

  4. 4

    Room placement

    Our team places you in Basic, Premium or Ultimate based on experience, standard of work and the services you're cleared for.

  5. 5

    Ongoing quality review

    Ratings, disputes and cancellations are reviewed monthly. Rooms can be upgraded — or downgraded — accordingly.

Payments held on-platform

Money is held from payment until you confirm the job is finished. Disputes are handled by our team.

Ratings that matter

Ratings drive room placement, so specialists have a real incentive to keep their standard high.

One thread per relationship

Chat, calls, quotes, bookings and receipts all live in the same thread. Nothing moves off-platform.
