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.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that.
