seemster Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hello, does anyone have any experience of using the Rated People site that they can share? Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30613-rated-people/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsaboy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yes.As a tradesman you have to pay for membership of the site on a monthly basis and then pay for the leads generated with no guarantee of actually getting the work and it aint cheap either.As a customer you are more likely to get a tradesman from a larger company as they can employ someone to sit and go through all the job requests that come in and then cherry pick the best ones.

Ridgley Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have used them for work , been very good you need to look at the feedbacks on the website before you go ahead and hire them.

jrpfinch Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I've always wondered about the potential conflict of interest with CheckATrade and Rated People.If tradesmen fund the website, there's an incentive for the website to remove bad reviews.

DirtyBox Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I used them to get a quote for a boiler repair...only one tradesman called me...in fact he called me every day for a week sometimes in the small hours to try and convince me he was the man for the job. I didn't use him because of his desperation and the next week he was on Rogue Traders.

funkymadam Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Used them once.I wanted quotes to put an electric shower in. One bloke replied came to the house stinking of alcohol and cigarettes then said he could do the work, when i asked him if he was a qualified electrician he said yes, then when i asked him for proof as my landlord consented to the work being carried out by a qualified person and i needed to provide proof, he went quiet then left. I rang him a few days later and he didn't pick up the phone. Emailed him - no reply.When i had a look on his feedback in the last few days it was all negative and he was more of a handyman and had admitted to one person he did not have qualifications. I didn't bother using Rated People again. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/30613-rated-people/#findComment-630308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
