24-hour and out-of-hours help
You can post a request any hour of any day — evenings, weekends, Sundays and bank holidays included. We alert vetted local providers who have set themselves available; whoever is free picks it up and sends you a price before you commit to anything.

How out-of-hours works, honestly
SomeoneToday is open around the clock — the website never closes and requests go out the moment you post them. Providers set their own availability, so out-of-hours coverage depends on who has flipped themselves available in your area that evening or weekend. Emergency trades — plumbers, locksmiths, electricians, recovery — are the most likely to work nights; last-minute lifestyle services tend to run mornings to evenings. Either way you'll know quickly, because the first free provider replies with a price and if nobody picks it up we say so rather than leaving you hanging.
Do out-of-hours jobs cost more?
Often, yes — nights, Sundays and bank holidays can carry a premium, exactly as they do when you ring a firm directly. The difference here is that the provider quotes their full price in the chat before you commit, so you can accept it, decline it, or wait until morning. Nothing is charged for asking.
