“Chose B. P. Roofing company for replacement roof. Good choice. !!. Been professional, polite and friendly throughout. Did not pay a penny till job completed. Thanks Brian and Paul . Mrs Reid . Fenwick Drive, Hamilton.”
“Andy replied to rated people post within 24 hrs and gave quote next day. 2 days later, job was done. A bit overpriced for work involved but needed crumbling chimney repaired urgently.”
“New Look Home and Gardens.
We needed a plot of land at the bottom of the garden clearing of weeds bushes and debris. This was done and taken away. The land was levelled a membrane put down and then covered in chippings.
An excelled job was achieved by Jimmy and his team within a day and at a sensible price.
Well done.”
“Did a review it got taking down because rated people don't like bad reviews, let's see if this gets taken down.

“A plumber/gas boiler named Darrell came to check my combi boiler. He and gave me some tips about my boiler. He was polite and efficient and I would recommend him to anyone. 10 out of 10.”
“Put a request on rated people for a tree surgeon. Same day we were rung by an Ashley Collins who came round and said he would reduce the height of our oak tree by 40ft and take away the resulting cuttings/wood etc. for £500. We agreed this. He came later that day with only a ladder and a saw, he had to borrow a saw and ropes from us to complete the job. Job done he then refused to take away the cuttings/wood unless we paid him another £200 or £150 if we would load his van ourselves. We are nearing 70 and declined this offer. He then got quite stroppy as he wanted the money paid directly into the bank but our computer was playing up so we had to give him a cheque which was made out to a Paul Taylor his boss. We are still awaiting the receipt nearly 2 months later. We then had to hire a skip for £110 which took us 3 days to fill and chop up the remaining wood etc. Got on to rated people who told us the person who took on the job was actually called Brian Mc Donag. Apparently this person is conveniently no longer on their books so they cannot help. Beware people, there's a lot of cowboys out there and going to a site such as rated people doesn't guarantee you won't become a victim sadly.”
“Tom & Sons Home Improvements. Tom was knowledgable, honest, and reliable. I was so impressed that I’ve asked for an additional quote for another job I need doing. I would definitely recommend him. Price and work were totally satisfactory.”
“SouthField Joinery! Fantastic work carried out by a professional polite on time team! No fuss no mess these guys are the real deal, composite Decking laid in two days no Moaning just honest work. I would recommend Dave and Rowan any time!”
“I recently had a bad experience with a trader and left negative comments and feedback. It seems that Rated People didn't like this and said that it was against their terms etc... To me it looks like negative comments and ratings affects their ability to get new traders to buy jobs from their site so they don't allow this. If a customer has had a good or bad experience they should be free to review accordingly and give an honest opinion. It seems like Rated People only want good reviews so more people use their services and in some cases cowboy and dodgy tradespeople. I will not be using their services again.”
“Useless and only favours Trades people
I had a dispute with a trade person and left a negative review but the VQ Team remove my review and said I cannot post any bad reviews. The review was well under their policy guidance but still they rejected it. Also, you never receive 3 quotes.. I created three jobs and only received 1 quote for each..
Unhappy user.”
“Atrocious customer service. Had new gutters fitted by someone who, I found out later,had stolen a dairy farmer's identity. Terrible job and I need to replace the gutters. Rated People will not speak to me in the phone,only by email and the person who I was dealing with,who wouldn't give their name, told me that the matter is closed. Really difficult to escalate my complaint but I will keep trying.”
“Tradesmen or contractors aren't verified and are allowed to scam people even with their invalid email addresses shown on their accounts.
Do not use this shameful app.
Had to involve police and probably I would have to involve the court too in case I find the scammer.
I would probably never see the money I paid the false tradesman on their app.
Use other legit apps to search for tradesmen”
“They charge silly prices per job and have no interest in refunding that money back when they job poster shows no interest in actually wanting the work done. Robot humans answer the phones at rayed people callcentre and read from a script, constantly repeating the same things about 20 percent limits and never actually helping or acknowledging that ive been sold a bad lead/fake lead. Terrible company, greedy and dishonest.”
“Needed a bricklayer urgently as a 2.5m x 1.5m wall was about to collapse. Had 3 person visit my property to provide a quote. KSN Construction quoted a higher price than the other 2 One company gave me a quote on a piece of paper without any details of what they would be doing. KSN, however after some discussion reduced the cost to an amount which was within our budget. They were on time on day 1 and were a friendly pair of lads and kept me informed of their progress until completion. I would recommend then to anybody who requires a bricklayer.”
“An absolute scam, do not ever use. The customer services do nothing but refuse to help and carry on charging you for a service that provides literally nothing. I have had to fold up my company due to these uncertain times and Rated People refuse to cancel my subscription (which I have never received a job from in 9months and been paying £72 each month). The government need to look at scam companies like this”
“Very poor. Their contractor took down payment, did no work and failed to return down payment. Now gone to court to recover.
Rated people did nothing to resolve, even when advised that their contractor was advertised falsely on their site, and clearly had not been checked and verified recently as he had a compulsory winding up order against him..
Despite Rated People being aware of this they continue to promote him.”
“Don't use Rated people, suspect leads are fake? Well you're absolutely right, leads are purchased from agencies and the same leads can be found on other similar sites, no one will ever answer and guess what, you won't be refunded either because you'll be told there's a 20% limit. The goal is to make as much money as possible, no one cares about the tradespeople they just care that you pay. Leads are never vetted so honestly its hard to tell whats genuine and what isn't. Also during the corona virus crisis they have been informed to not suspend payments under any circumstances because the business wil collapse...again showing that no one cares about the trades person. I know this as fact as my friend works for them. Poor company poor service...don't waste your pennies on this site”
“Found a tradesman off this site. Came round for a quote. Did some tinkering and said everything need to be replaced at £500. Thought it was a bit shady after googling it online. Got a second opinion and had it fixed for £80. Left a negative review based on the above and site admins removed it. What a joke. Like most people I don't mind paying for honest work but don't want to be ripped off either. This site is full of scam artists and they seem to encourage them too.”
“Stay away from Rated People if you're a tradesman. I belive 99% of their leads are fake... Customers don't answer phone, mails or messages. How we can do something about this scam?”
