They are completely scamming the British tradesmen, no leads no work, then they scam you for another year if you don't cancel within 60 days ... They put this deep in the small print, don't call or email to say it's coming to the 60 day mark. They only call for money on the day

Thank you for your feedback. While we understand your frustration, we must firmly correct several serious inaccuracies in your review.

Book A Builder UK is a fully UK-registered business that operates transparently under clearly communicated terms. We do not “scam” tradespeople — we provide a subscription-based platform giving verified members access to live homeowner job leads, filtered by trade, postcode radius, and job type. While we cannot guarantee job conversions — no platform can — we do ensure that leads are genuine and accessible, with many trades actively securing work through the site every day.

About Our Renewal Policy

Our 60-day cancellation policy is not hidden or “deep in small print” — it is prominently presented:

At the point of sign-up

In your digital membership agreement

In the welcome email with your full terms

On your member dashboard under account details

We also send multiple renewal reminders by email in the lead-up to your renewal date. We do not withhold this information, and we absolutely do not call on the renewal date asking for money — renewals are automated and processed in line with agreed terms.

Support and Transparency

If you’ve had difficulty getting through to the team or need clarification, we urge you to contact us directly so we can help resolve your concerns. We're here to assist — not avoid accountability.

You can reach us at:
info@bookabuilderuk.com
020 3817 8467

If you feel your account did not perform as expected, we're happy to review it in full, assess lead volumes in your area, and explore solutions.

✅ Final Note

We take pride in supporting tradespeople nationwide. Claims of scams are not only inaccurate but undermine the real value many receive from the platform. That said, if your experience fell short, we want to make it right — and we’re ready to talk.

Kind regards,
Head of Customer Services

James turned up on time, he was very pleasant and started the work straight away, he did a great job and was finished in 4.5hrs.
Teresa and I are very pleased with the work and would not hesitate in recommending him in the future, I have already spoken to some of my neighbours who admired his work.

Negative review didn't appear

Left a negative review for Bromley Drainage Co LTD but it did not appear. I wanted to warn potential customers that Reece Martin is a con artist and ripped us off while trading under his former company HBDRAINAGE LTD (which he has phoenixed as Bromley Drainage Co LTD) leaving two unsettled CCJs. bookabuilderuk.com should protect their customers from rogue traders like Reece.

He was very helpful and hardworking. Made suggestions when I was unsure. He was available the next day and price reasonable. Painting could have been better but overall would recommend him.

READ ALL NEGATIVE REVIEWS BELOW BEFORE ENGAGING

READ ALL NEGATIVE REVIEWS BELOW. THEY ARE REFLECTIVE OF MY EXPERIENCE.
My father signed up and was promised the earth by well rehearsed sales people.
What he received was the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. Zero leads / Zero Customer Service.
Renewal is automatic with no warning or notice given and you have to give 60 days notice to terminate, according to their T&Cs when you sign up which is in their smallprint. They did not tell us this on the phone with their sales pitch!
We terminated well in advance after reading their T&Cs in full. Also, aked to erase all of my fathers information from their system completely at the same time as termination, under data protection law, they acknowledged to say it was done, however, received an email some months after asking for money on a renewal!!
They have been written to by the Information Commissioners Office following my submission to them about this outlining the regulation to them and I have proof of this. We are awaiting the business' response confirming that they have followed the correct procedure and erased all of the data when asked to do so.
KEEP WELL WELL AWAY!!!

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the services provided by book a builder. From the outset, their business practices have been deceptive and unprofessional. The company employs aggressive sales tactics, misrepresenting the scope and nature of their services. Once payment is secured, communication becomes virtually non-existent, with significant delays in response times or complete lack thereof. The terms and conditions of the service drastically change post-payment, leaving customers with unmet expectations and financial losses. I strongly advise against engaging with and recommend exploring alternative service providers who demonstrate integrity and transparency. This company's behaviour is nothing short of exploitative, and consumers should be wary of their deceptive practices. Even after several attempts to come to a resolution I am still being ignored, I can show proof, Book a builder will reply saying contact us to solve this but they do not do anything.

Great Experience with K4management

K4management responded very quickly to my request to lay flags and correct groundwork for my new shed to stand on.
They were prompt and hard working, got on with the job, neat and tidy work done. Very reasonably priced too. I would certainly recommend this company and use them again. Well done.

Impeccable

The gentleman who came to work on my boiler was very good.
He was punctual, polite and even left me a heater when he was unable to leave me with a working boiler (this was in winter, date submitted is an estimate as I can’t remember the date)
Couldn’t ask for a better service

River Point Home Improvements Ltd

We used a company call River Point Services Ltd. Ash the owner of the company arrived with a small multi-skilled task force.
They fixed the fencing panels shed and painted the, they trimmed the shrubs in the front and back garden and the hedges.
They re-enforced the suspended display cabinet in the kitchen, painted the ceiling, walls and radiators.
The whole Team was professional, courteous, polite, extremely efficient, they made you feel like a valued customer and human being.
They were patient and kind to my 84 year old Mother, when she kept coming out to speak to them, she was delighted with all the work.
Thank you so much to all of of you at River point.
