Yes.


As a tradesman you have to pay for membership of the site on a monthly basis and then pay for the leads generated with no guarantee of actually getting the work and it aint cheap either.


As a customer you are more likely to get a tradesman from a larger company as they can employ someone to sit and go through all the job requests that come in and then cherry pick the best ones.

I used them to get a quote for a boiler repair...only one tradesman called me...in fact he called me every day for a week sometimes in the small hours to try and convince me he was the man for the job. I didn't use him because of his desperation and the next week he was on Rogue Traders.

Used them once.


I wanted quotes to put an electric shower in. One bloke replied came to the house stinking of alcohol and cigarettes then said he could do the work, when i asked him if he was a qualified electrician he said yes, then when i asked him for proof as my landlord consented to the work being carried out by a qualified person and i needed to provide proof, he went quiet then left.


I rang him a few days later and he didn't pick up the phone. Emailed him - no reply.


When i had a look on his feedback in the last few days it was all negative and he was more of a handyman and had admitted to one person he did not have qualifications.


I didn't bother using Rated People again.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
