Qabbad helps people in Malta and Gozo find local service providers without the usual phone-tag scramble. Tell Qabbad what needs doing, where you are and when you need help. Add photos or a short video, answer the important service questions once, and send a clear request to providers who cover your area. For customers: - Browse local services like plumbers, electricians, AC technicians, handymen, painters, gardeners and more. - Send one clear request instead of repeating the same details over and over. - Add photos, timing, locality and notes so providers can quote properly. - Keep quotes, messages and bookings in one place. - Add confirmed bookings to your phone calendar. For providers: - Build a simple Qabbad listing for your services and coverage areas. - Receive better-prepared requests from customers. - Quote, message and organise bookings from your provider desk. - Share your Qabbad profile with customers and on social media. - Founding providers can claim an eligible free first-year category slot while launch availability lasts. Qabbad is built for Malta and Gozo: simple, local and clear enough for people who just want the job sorted.
