See what your home needs.

Take a photo and ask what you are looking at. Lookstead helps you name it, notice wear or damage, and work out a sensible next step.

Ask the way you normally would.

Cleaning, a stuck part, or “what is this?” Send a photo and your question. If it looks unsafe, we say stop and call someone qualified.

My Home holds the details.

Save the boiler, the washer, the switch in the hall. Next time you ask, answers can use what you already stored.

Around the home

  • Appliances and gadgets

    Labels, lights and error codes. Worth a look before you strip anything down.

  • Cleaning and care

    Fabric, stone, wood. What might work and what might mark or strip the finish.

  • Repairs and maintenance

    Jobs you can try yourself. When to book a tradesperson instead.

  • Parts and replacements

    A clearer name or type so your search is not pure guesswork.

How it works

  1. Take or upload a photo of whatever is confusing you.
  2. Type your question the way you would to a person.
  3. Read the answer including any safety warning if things look risky.
  4. Save to My Home if you want Lookstead to remember the item.
