My builder do not care at all about the traders on there, i had a scenario where i got shortlisted, I immediately recognised the details of a customer I was already in a quoting process with. I contact my builder to ask them to cancel it off within around 3 min of being shortlisted. It was tough luck, pay for it anyway. Clearly they put more stock in just taking money than providing a fair service. Knowing full well that that lead has not helped me in anyway, they are still happy to take my money, says a lot about the companies ethics and the people who run it.

Posted 2 jobs. The first job involved concreting 2 fence panels into patio. One didn't get back to me and the other had a look saying he would be there 9am - didn't show. The 2nd job One didn't get back to me, the other pretended he was on his way. Didn't show. Absolutely no communication to let me know what was happening . I stayed in every day, waiting. Will definitely NOT use again!

Used My Builder as a trader on and off for a number of years. Found to be more of a con than anything else with numerous "Leads" turning out to be dead ends with phone numbers not working or never able to contact the "customer" and still being charged for the lead. Sceptical as to if a number of these are actually real people or just put on the site to generate income for My Builder.

The reviews you put on Forest paving company in Enfield is not genuine & misleading to the public! I tried to put a genuine review but your website didn’t let me!

Selling very poor leads, job posts and customers posting them are not being checked by mybuilder.com leading to dead leads and wasting a lot of money for the tradesperson. Google ads is more effective. Poor customer service, trained like robots with typical generic answers for everything. Started a great site but always suspicious of the dead leads, happens too often. Avoid.

Useless. Have been waiting since mid February for debris to be removed. No response from so called builder nor receipt for cash paid or guarantee for work ( very poor standard) as promised. Have informed trading standards as would hate for anyone else to ripped off by cowboys. AVOID My builder

The Tradesmen on there aren’t vetted and neither are the leads! Many of the tradesmen on there are desperate to try anything they can get! for example (supposedly) qualified tilers and plumbers putting their name forward to go and fit a cat flap or build some flat packed furniture????? and the customers are often not even genuine, you pay for a lead and it turns out to be a complete waste of time and money as they were only thinking about it, or they just wanted to get an idea of cost etc etc? They should charge customers to put their jobs on the site, that way, all the painful time and money wasters will be eradicated.

Shocking company to deal with. Discriminating me for someone else. Refused to deal with the issue properly despite never having a complaint and 100% feedback. I'm not the only one to have had an appalling service from them.

Mybuilder take your money, offer multiple leads. 1 job out of 4 leads had to pay for all and the customer lied about pre existing damage to a windowsill that clearly had damage painted over and requested a refund for a whole plastering job!!!!! There are cowboy builders there are also cowboy customers. Nothing in protection from these customers. Trades STAY AWAY AS THIS SITE ENCOURAGES THE CHEAP AND NASTY CUSTOMERS - YOU WILL PAY DEARLY.

I am a multiskilled tradesman. From 4 leads I've had one job. Ive been charged for the 4 leads mind. The site is geared up for the customer even though tradesman are the ones paying. If something goes wrong even if theres an easy solution, your feedback is held to ransom and bad feedback left which will not be removed. There is nothing in place to advise tradesmen of the type if people they could potentially be dealing with.

If you are a treadesman/woman, you have to apply for "leads". If you get shortlisted by the customer, you will be charged regardless weather you get the job or not. Even if the "lead" does not answer the phone, emails or texts, you still get charged! The customer can shortlist upto 5 tradesmen per job & MyBuilder encourage them so shortlist lots of tradesmen. One lead cost me £28+VAT. MyBuilder will charge this amount for upto 5 tradesmen. So they make £168 & either 1 person (or sometimes none) will get the job.This is why they multi-millionares, at the expense of people just trying to make a living. I started adding a note in my messages saying "please only shortlist me if you are serious as I will be charged a fee as soon as you shortlist me". MyBuilder told me I can not do this & have now closed my account. I want to take legal action against then. Can anyone help?
