Bark
Bark is a London-based marketplace, launched in 2014, that matches people with local service providers rather than selling goods. You describe the job, and up to five suitable professionals can respond with quotes. Asking for quotes costs customers nothing. It is handy when you need a cleaner, a wedding DJ or a web designer and don't know who to ring.

How a request works
1. Post a short description of what you need and where.
2. Bark passes the request to as many as five nearby professionals who are free to take it on.
3. Compare their quotes and profiles, then decide whether to hire anyone. There is no obligation to go ahead.
Having dates and a rough budget ready makes the quotes easier to compare.
