Great communication

Great communication. By message phone and in person. Arrived when scheduled. Explained everything in detail. Quote was received really quickly and was broken down to price for materials and labour. I have every confidence in Pauls knowledge and experience in doing the job professionally.

Thanks so much for the review, Frank! Clear communication, turning up on time and a fully itemised quote is exactly what we expect from our traders on TradeWatch, so it’s great to hear Paul delivered on all of it.

We’ll make sure he sees your kind words. Best of luck with the job! 💜

The agreement was to provide me with 2…

The agreement was to provide me with 2 free leads so I could test the service and decide whether I wanted to purchase a package for £420.

Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the free leads, so I decided not to proceed with the paid package. Now, instead of accepting my decision, they are threatening me with debt collection over a purchase I never agreed to go ahead with.

I find this approach completely unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. A trial should allow customers to assess a service without being pressured or threatened when they decide it is not right for them.

I would strongly advise others to be cautious and think twice before using this company. Stay away!

We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your experience, and we understand your concerns about the payment request.

The agreed package was for 10 exclusive EV charger leads, with payment deferred until the first two leads had been delivered. Those leads formed part of the paid package, rather than a free trial with an option to proceed afterwards.

Our records show that we sent the package details and terms before you completed the signup process on 2 September 2026. The payment request relates to that agreement.

As explained in our direct correspondence, we have acknowledged the issue with the customer whose charger was already installed and removed that lead from your allocation. It will not count towards your 10 leads. We have also offered to split the invoice into two payments, with further leads delivered between payments.

Only bought a small bundle to test it out. Glad I did. Got some quotes out and one accepted already. I’ll be back for more once I’ve cleared the current jobs.

I’ve been in the trade for years

I’ve been in the trade for years, and most of my work has always come through recommendations. I thought I’d try something different during a quieter period, and I’m glad I did! The bundle has had a brilliant response, and I’ve already booked quite a few jobs through it. The pricing on the boiler bundle is hard to beat for the number of jobs you can get out of it. Can’t complain at all!

Very friendly staff! Easy to work with!
Couldn’t recommend enough, I had a slow patch in my business and these guys helped me to fill in the diary and give me the boost I needed to keep my business going. Now they keep my diary full whenever I need and all it takes is a phone call!
Amazing from signing up to signing up again!

Extra jobs booked and a lovely team to deal with.

Really pleased we gave TradeWatch a go for EV Leads. We had a few spaces in the diary and wanted to bring some extra work in. Bought a lead bundle, got chatting to a few customers and now have jobs booked. The team were lovely to deal with as well.

swift and professional - they stood out from the competition!

Amazingly swift, efficient and straightforward service - stood out from the competition from the outset - Thank you!!
Hayden handled my initial enquiry promptly and professionally.
I provided all the information required and was given a call and email follow up with a firm offer.
He did thank me for giving an honest representation of the watch and pictures of a chip to the glass as this meant he could appraise the watch accurately.
Having shopped around, I was happy the price was fair and arranged a visit to Tradewatches office at Canary Wharf. The security aspect was comforting and once there, I was met at reception by Ben who handled the process smoothly and professionally.
Money was transferred within minutes and the deal was done!!!
I would have no hesitation in recommending Tradewatches and if I ever have the opportunity will call them first without hesitation.

Excellent service

Our quoting diary had gone a little quiet, so we tried a TradeWatch UK bundle. It was good to have new enquiries to follow up, and we’ve already booked a customer in. A very encouraging start for us.

Absolutely shocking

Absolutely shocking. I’m a tradesmen, first of all they called me up saying I’d get two leads to see how it goes, but didn’t make it clear that that was including the whole package so I had to pay for them. Then out of all the 10 leads, I didn’t get one customer come back. Terrible customer base and Trade Watch I feel is just a scam and will just take your money.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with your experience.

Payment for the package becomes due once the first two leads have been delivered. Those leads form part of the paid package. This was explained at the point of sale, repeated during your confirmation call and included in your written package confirmation.

Our customer services team contacts every customer to verify their enquiry and confirm they are actively seeking the service before passing their details to our trade partners.

We understand how frustrating it is when leads don’t turn into work. However, we cannot guarantee responses or successful quotes, as customers’ decisions can depend on pricing, their experience with each business and competing quotes.

We would be happy to contact the customers you quoted for and request feedback on your behalf. We can share any feedback we receive to help you understand their decisions, identify potential improvements to your service and strengthen your chances of winning future work.

Everything went well on…

Everything went well on installation,but still trying to work out schedules etc as I scheduled the charge to go on in the middle of the night I had to get up to try and sort it out. Probably won't need a charge do a few days now.

SCAM WARNING FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS

TradeWatch UK targeted my business via aggressive cold-calling, harassing us relentlessly with high-pressure phone tactics to pay an unexpected invoice for £234 for "ad space" in a local directory. They scraped our real business logo and information from online profiles without permission, created a mockup, and used severe duress—including threatening us with immediate court orders, lawsuits, and bailiffs—to panic us into paying.
Once we paid to stop the harassment, we audited the printed booklet. It is a complete ghost publication. The surrounding advertisements in the magazine (such as Redmond Demolition, Rapid Wrapz, and NextGen AstroTurf) are entirely fake shell companies populated with dead, disconnected phone numbers to pad out the pages. This is a highly coordinated rogue publisher scam designed to extract money under duress. This company has been officially reported to Action Fraud and our bank’s fraud unit. DO NOT PAY THEM A PENNY.

Excellent Company

The company I chose for my EV Charger Installation, Stratus Electrical, was excellent. They came to quote and were able to complete the job in just over a week. Good workmanship, good price, good job!

Not what I agreed

Agreed to invoice on 3rd lead !
2nd lead admitted he only wanted a quoted and wasn’t ready to proceed ! Something I was told would not happen! Then notified that my account was on hold until invoice settled ! So no 3rd lead . Not impressed at the moment!

Hi there,

Thanks for your feedback. What you've described doesn't reflect our policy or the terms we agree with traders when they join. Invoicing on the second lead is confirmed multiple times during onboarding, so we'd like to look at the details of your account and agreement more closely.

A member of the team will be in touch directly to go through this with you.

Good service, a tad tardy in finding a tradesman, who was taken by surprise by the contact when we spoke, so good start, hopefully a good end, just longer than expected

We are sorry it took a bit longer than expected to get you matched with a tradesperson, we know waiting isn't ideal. Glad the process is off to a good start now though, and we hope the rest goes smoothly for you. Please do let us know how the job turns out!
