“I will definitely be using My Builder again. I had so many plumbers respond, it was amazing. The plumber I selected was straightforward and did what he promised. He got the boiler going for us on the same call-out.”
“They have never failed to find us good reliable trades people from tilers, to gas fitters to patios. Absolutely would recommend. Keep up the good work!”
“We will be very happy to ask for your help again the guy who did our cooker was awesome polite and did a fantastic job I will certainly recommend my builder to everyone”
“we had two excellent responders, was hard to choose between but pleased with who we accepted estimate from as now doing 2nd job for us. mybulider is easy to use and has a quick response time”
“A very useful website.
I've had three jobs done through My Builder as it makes it easy to select suitable people who can do your job. Then let them quote and choose the best option.
Easy peasey and I will use My Builder in the future.”
“MyBuilder Does Not Vet Tradesmen I am £1200 of poctket
they do not help you many of them are Rogue Traders. Platinum Plastering and Now Platinum Construction Of Reading Uk Watch out for them. Richard Best and Noel And Ben Gibson Are Dangerous not qualified Mybuilder Cost me”
“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.”
“my builder is making millions out of good trades men ,They have bought the top searches on google ,they encourage people that post jobs to shortlist as many as possible with the people that post the job not being informed that there actions (shortlisting)are going to
cost trades people fees , They are able bunch of parasites making millions out of the tradesman's sweat , my builder,rated people ,checkatrade, my toolbox, the lot should be band and removed .”
“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?”
“what a rubbish rip off so many bored people just want to find out how much is this and that very afew genuine people looking to hire.trades man stay away as they will short list you for a job you have xpresdd interest a year ago where you have work lined up and you cant even make contact with job poster .so no need to waste your time and money”
“As a trader for 5 years and having 92% positive feedback we feel really let down. No support, you have to book in a time slot to actually talk to someone, they never call back, they dont listen and just take your money. 9 times out of 10 you can't contact the lead, (ARE THEY ACTUAL LEADS I ASK?) Then you charged for being shortlisted.”
“As a tradesman i am not happy with my builder. They are not contactable only if its to benefit them. They give false information and advice to clients which affects tradesmen and customers homes.”
