“Though there are some genuine tradesmen on there, there are , in my experience, a lot of con men, who, in my opinion, even make up their own reviews. Find another place to source tradesmen. Though I would imagine that if a con man can fudge the reviews on one site, he can do it on another. There are official registers for many trades, such as the Gas Safe Register and the Institute of Plumbing.”

“I asked Alex Hill of Garden Maintenance and his team to do some work on my garden, the front part needed quite a lot of work, and the back-garden tidying up. He did a great job. His approach was very professional, in that he came at the time he said he would, told me how he would tackle the job, and then put a lot of hard work into completing it. He did a wonderful job and he is going to do some work for me again very soon. I would recommend him to whoever wants a job started and completed effectively and to the timing agreed. Alex used some of his skills in putting in designs I had not thought of but which added charm to his work.”

“BEWARE - Waste of time I used Rated People to find a tradesman to carry out some work on my property, I had numerous problems with the tradesman (bill harding - harding construction) and he ended up walking away with close to £9000 leaving my property half finished and a total mess. I contacted Rated People for assistance in tracking down this tradesman, I was only provided with a phone number and email address and this was no enough to summon him to court. I asked Rated People to provide me with his details so I could send him court letter. I was told that this was something Rated People could not do. I used their service because I believed they were safer than traditional methods, this is obviously not the case and when something goes wrong they leave you high and dry.”

“Im a tradesman they charge huge fees for average jobs do not vet timewasting homeowners then if someone pulls out of a property sale so there is no job to quote on they do not give you your lead money back morally wrong. Would anyone pay £50 deposit for a car then when you turn up there is no car you would demand your deposit back surely. Terrible customer service legalised daylight robbery”

“Make bogus jobs up charging £55 +vat plus for a so called customer you can never get hold of. Leads are double the price compared to sites such as my builder and customer services is poor . Claim they never cold call to get you to join but the last 6 months call continuous to get x customers to return as they have lost all the tradesmen Job leads are becoming lower and lower as homeowners use better websites such as My builder, trustatrade and bookabuilder”

“don't use this website, if you buy the lead and you don't get the job , THEY WILL NEVER REFUND YOU THE MONEY TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT , it will go to your profile on ratedpeople as a credit , hence the leads prices are too high , SCAMMERS”

“We used a company called www.dampworx.co.UK they came to do our damp proofing went through a water pipe which they never mended properly. Took our money refused to give us a receipt or a certificate for the work. Pipe then burst refused to answer our calls or messages and e.mails sent. Had to call out a plumber to fix it who had to remove some of the damp proof, have tried again and again to get in contact, just completely ignored us. So avoid at all cost and would not recommend this sight at all if I could of given no stars or even minus I would of done. You think your doing the right thing by using this sight and all we got was conned it leaves a bad taste in your mouth for being so gullible.”

“They came, the son and father. They got on with the jog of giving me new fencing and were quite helpful but they missed one fence out saying they would come back on Wednesday but as we see later Wednesday never came. As I trusted them I offered my cheque but the father said he does not accept cheques, only cash. Although I was taken aback but pleased with their work I accepted the offer of his son taking me down to town to draw out the money causing me some problems along the way.By then being 74 I was under a bit of stress. When we were finally back at my house I sorted the money out with them. Before I had got back my breath they disappeared with the money without giving me a receipt. they never came back on Wednesday so I rung them up and they replied promising a Friday visit which again never materialised the same of further visit offers.. I have been extremely disappointed with their behavior.”

“Hired Allan pugh a so called painter and decorator through rated people . He gave us a quote to paint our kitchen and utility room tried to charge us extra for a small amount of filling which was included in the original quote. Eventually asked him to leave. The work he did was very poor when I gave a second coat the paint peeled off due to newly plaster walls not being prepared correctly. Gave a negative review to rated people but it was now published.”

“I have been a builder/joiner for many years and decided to go onto rated people 8 months ago after cancelling my yellow pages ad, making this my main source of advertising and link to obtaining work. In the past 8 months I have had all 5* reviews and never had any negative feedback. On Friday 6th of May I received an email stating I was being removed from their company website has I didn't adhere to their high standards!! this come has quite a shock as I didn't understand why?? I have tried numerous times to speak to someone there and they will not speak to me. I feel very upset and disappointed with this and feel I should have an explanation. To top it off they have also been in contact with a customer who I was going to be doing a job for next this week, saying that they had removed me as I hadn't adhered to their high standards (embarrassing) and also giving my company and myself a really bad name and impression where are my rights as a tradesman......”
