Good platform

Good platform, but unfortunately with the existing administration the lead are much more expensive! And that’s not guarantee you get the job. So we pay for the opportunity!

I have just had Martin from Instaflow…

I have just had Martin from Instaflow Burns out today to do a repair on the toilet cistern and to remove and replace shower base sealant. I am very pleased with his work he arrived on time with everything that was required for the job, he was a very quick worker and cleaned up after he finished and the price he quoted was what I paid very reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend his service to anyone he would do a good job.

Happy repeat customer

I’ve used Rated People several times, and it has worked out well. After posting my job, I often get tradespeople contact me within minutes, and so far I have been fortunate to hire good people who I would be happy to use again. Overall, it’s a very helpful service.

Terrible

Terrible, the worst, horrible site with horrible customer service.

Quick and easy

It was extremely quick and easy to get three quotes for my job. I chose the best tradesman, and my work was carried out excellently. I would use them every time.

Scammed for money

I recently employed help with my garden and paid in full the amount agreed and the gardener did not finish the agreed work. He then blocked my phone number and was happy to take my money but not finish the work agreed.
Obviously I will not use this platform again as I had no protection from being scammed.

Data stolen of account can’t be closed?

Put up a request. Got an email saying a trade had replied and more info required and to check my ad for more details. Checked the ad and nothing, no reply, no sign of any interaction and definitely nowhere to answer the trade that had requested more info. Seeing that the site isn’t for for purpose I decided to delete my account but, YOU CANT! Accounts have no delete option, contact us has no contact details so Trustpilot gets a visit instead. It’s my data, my account and I should be able to close it. I closed my advert and moved to trustatrader as their site is polar opposite to the one I just had a horrendous experience navigating.
