When something breaks at home, the old routine is familiar to most: calling multiple contractors, waiting for callbacks, and hoping whoever shows up will do a decent job. This common headache sparked an idea during the pandemic lockdowns – what if fixing things at home was as easy as ordering a takeaway? That simple question led to JustFix, a platform that’s bringing much-needed change to home maintenance. By combining smart technology with carefully vetted professionals, Adam Graham and his team is making home repairs straightforward in a field that’s stayed stubbornly stuck in the past.
Building During Lockdown
While stuck at home during Covid-19, Adam put his tech background to work on a persistent problem. “It was a bit of a project that kept me sane,” he recalls. What started as a lockdown project has now grown into a platform that’s reshaping how homeowners handle repairs.
JustFix stands out by keeping things simple. Instead of scrolling through endless listings, homeowners just say what needs fixing and when they want it done. “We want to make it as easy as ordering a taxi or takeaway,” Adam says. Their matching system picks the right professional for each job, backed by a solid guarantee – if the work isn’t up to standard, they fix it at no extra cost. 
Changing Homes, Changing Needs
The pandemic changed how we use our homes, and Adam has seen this firsthand. “People have been recompartmentalizing their house or flat,” he notes, describing how open-plan enthusiasts are now creating separate spaces for work and living. This shift has made good home maintenance even more crucial. Getting repairs done through JustFix takes about 30 seconds on their app. Behind the scenes, their system matches each job with the right professional. But Adam knows when people need more than an app: “Sometimes you just want to speak to someone,” he says. That’s why they keep phone lines open for questions and support.
Word-of-mouth recommendations are great, but they have limits. “How often do you actually check the credentials of that tradesperson?” Adam asks. JustFix vets everyone on their platform and keeps checking quality. Anyone who doesn’t measure up gets removed.
What’s Next for JustFix
The company is growing, with plans to list on the Aquis Stock Exchange in February. They’re working on new features too, including AI tools that give instant price estimates. Adam’s also introducing subscription options – pay monthly and get both emergency fixes and planned maintenance taken care of. For Adam, it’s about more than just repairs. He shares a story about an elderly customer without heating during freezing weather. His team fixed it for free because it was the right thing to do. “Little acts of kindness here and there can make a big difference,” he says.
Adam’s main tip for others trying to change traditional industries? “Do your research,” he says, “but once you’ve done enough research to satisfy yourself that there is a business opportunity here, you’ve got to be pretty thick-skinned.” He adds that many will say it won’t work – “Someone once said to me they think that the very definition of an entrepreneur is someone who gets told it won’t work but does it in spite of that.”
JustFix shows that sometimes the best solutions come from fixing our own frustrations. Visit the website of Adam J Graham or his LinkedIn profile to learn more about hassle-free home repairs.
