General recommendation for finding trades people

[PSJ]

Hi - although the forum is great for finding locally recommended trades people, and the first place I look, I sometimes find they are too popular and thus hard to book. I've had a bit of repair work needed over the last few days and ended up using Mybuilder.com and I've got to say its been great for finding a variety of trades. Very easy process and great response. I'm in no way connected to them, just been using it and thought others might find it useful too if not already using it.

I agree it's good however only yesterday I had to write a negative review about a rubbish tiler I got from there (not in ED). I'm going to have to touch up his poor work myself, but some of it is too hard for me to to fix, e.g. he used 2 different colours of grout, holes in the grout. He had 99% good feedback but I really don't get it, he was rushed, messy, tatty finishing etc but if you read the reviews you would have thought he was great.

In hindsight I should have waited a month for the tiler my neighbour recommended to become available.
