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.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
