I am an Electrician and decided to sign up to MyConstructor to supplement my work as a domestic Installer with NICEIC. It was obvious from the start that this was not going to work. I was inundated with spam emails from the company with no real clarity on how the whole system worked to the point that I got fed up and tried to leave. But not before receiving a call out of the blue one morning asking where I was?! A customer had apparently booked an EICR through the myconstutor website and yet I had no knowledge of this appointment?!? and to rub insult into injry they put a price of only £25 on this ( an utterly ridiculous price for an EICR- I charge between £100-180) which means after their 30% commission I'd come away with only £17.50???? I had to do a 1.5 hour round trip to get to the poor guy ( who incidentally travelled 2.5 hours up from Devon to get to his rental property to meet me and ended up having to turn around and go back again as unfortunately i wasnt available that day. It turned out OK in the end for myself as the customer was happy to go directly through myself in the end and pay my standard rate but he lost his £25 that he paid to mycconstructor. So as a tradesman my advice is - don't bother. And as a customer please PLEASE stop using these sites to book your work!! They charge huge commission and lead fees to the tradesman with very unfair rigid rules. I beg you just do this -
Google - " electrician near me" PLEASE!
