“Thought I would give them a try. I prepped a room and it was ready for decoration Two men came - I would be supplying all materials When I asked they said they were time served Would have thought it would have said that on his business card Wizard decorating - doesnt sound like a professional service to me Phoned later with a price of £2200 Should be £500 - £600 I now will not use anyone from rated people as they have now spoilt it for Others Be warned !”

“Rated people are a disgraceful company who take advantage of tradesmen. Look at all the positive reviews, they are mainly reviewing the tradesmen not the service. I signed up as a tradesmen and after interrogating the salesperson he finally admitted that I could cancel within 14 days. He tried to avoid answering and instead he kept reiterating that it was a 12 month contract and the whole amount would be payable if I wished to leave. At this point I decided not to go through with the purchase as I was fed up with the sales person I had been speaking to. The next day I stupidly phoned again and spoke to another sales person, this time I asked if the credits I spent (you receive credits up to the monthly membership price) would be refunded if I canceled within 14 days, she said yes, not once but multiple times. I reiterated the point as I wanted to be certain that I could try the service and receive a full refund if it wasn't as expected (it certainly wasn't). Its now a month later and I'm chasing my money that Rated People have fraudulently stole, I've received one call back and the investigator has blatantly lied and said the sales person (beth) never said what I am claiming. Im actually quite sickened that a company this size will go this far out of their way to avoid refunding an honest customer, especially with the length of their deceit. An other lie I was told when singing up is that lead prices are 'solely' based on a jobs worth, within several minutes of using the service it was obvious this is not the case. Jobs that are worth 'Under £100) can be as high as £12-13, now when you think the job may actually only be worth £50 and rated people sell the lead to 3 tradesmen their is only ever one winner. I could go on about this company for hours but its not good for my blood pressure. In conclusion. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!”

“I would thoroughly recommend RPM services, they have just completed putting a new roof on my house. James and his lads were excellent, James would oversee the work, leaving his lads to carry on with the work, he was in contact with them during the day returning to make sure things were going ok, the lads really knew what they were doing, I have never seen lads work as hard as they did, not stopping all day, they would explain to me how things were going and keeping me informed. Once again thanks James and lads for a great job”

“Websites such as Rated People are supposed to be raising the standard of how tradespeople interact & trade with consumers. Unfortunately out of 4 tradespeople that we have used via Rated People, only 1 has produced work to a decent standard. As a person who works in a trade, I have noticed that Rated People & other similar websites have successfully contributed to lowering the standard of tradespeople in the UK by providing a platform for unscrupulous and below-par people to advertise their below-standard services in exchange for paying for the privilege. Rated People and other similar websites need to urgently review who they allow to trade on their websites. Unsuspecting consumers, like myself, are placing trust in these websites that they will receive good service from vetted tradespeople. The reality is definitely not the case and Rated People need face up to their original brief to raise standards otherwise consumers are no better off by simply playing 'Russian roulette' with a copy of the Yellow Pages!”

“The company shows a despicable attitude towards genuine tradesmen. They demand insane levels of identity information from workmen and exclude genuine workmen from their database. I speak from direct experience of a workman I have used many many times. He has been treated shabbily by RATED PEOPLE as a business. I am NEVER going to use a tradesman aimed at me by this company from here on. I will NEVER use their services and will definitely warn my many hundreds of clients about their practices by email and social media.”

“I employed a building & facilities manager through Rated People. He has turned out to be a crook, having disappeared 5 weeks ago in the middle of building an extension and pocketing the money I had paid him. I've advised Rated People twice about this but so far have had little interest from them apart from sending me a disclaimer saying they aren't liable for their traders, but I had only asked them to remove the trader from their website so that other people wouldn't be defrauded. I'm still waiting for them to remove his previous excellent testimonials from the website.”

“I posted a job on Thursday morning for a gas cooker to be fitted. Within minutes Stewart from elite gas was in touch with not only a quote for the job but also dates and times for work to be carried out. This was done swiftly and courtesly with minimum of fuss and disruption. Stewart even cleaned and tidied up after himself. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends if they required simular work to be done.”

“I don't believe Rated People carry out checks on their tradesman. I had a bad experience with one of their tradesmen. I sent in my complaint together with photographic evidence, text messages, etc as requested by them. Needless to say they did nothing about my complaint as the other 3 reviews were not complaints. Why didn't they tell me that in the first place and save me all that time and trouble. I lost my money but they don't seem to care. Just another rogue trader getting away with bad workmanship”

“This company are run by crooks, lure you in with false promises of job leads, impossible budgets set by the public, fake jobs, then when you finish your 12 month membership and you try and cancel they tell you that you've automatically gone straight into another 12 month membership so you cant leave unless its on their terms! avoid and use other means of bringing work in for yourself! these are scandalous!”

“We run a team of decorators based in Sheffield paid money out to buy fictitious leads but when asked for a credit back rated people refused I think this is totally wrong if you pay good money for a lead but can't get hold of the customer or the customer has already had the work why will rated people refuse to give you your money back in all honesty bogus leads supplied to get your cash avoid”
