I used a company called PJM roofing. The job they did failed after 5 days. I have asked them for two weeks to help repair with no resolution. You support these cowboys...why. £600 wasted

Hi Steve,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it can be when a job doesn't go as planned, particularly when you've invested time and effort into finding the right professional for the job.

Although the work is carried out independently by the tradesperson, we take concerns about service quality seriously and value all feedback we receive from homeowners. Reviews and feedback help us monitor the professionals using our platform and maintain standards across our network

We take all feedback seriously and will use it to help us monitor the quality of professionals using our platform. We'd encourage you to contact our Support Team directly on support@ratedpeople.com using the subject line "Trustpilot 0016" so we can ensure your complaint is fully investigated and take further action where appropriate within our processes.

Thank you again for bringing your experience to our attention.

Not possible to delete account via the app. Passed on my phone number to the trade without permission. Bad customer service. Do not trust this company, it’s data farming . Not GDPR compliant.

To respond to the below, you have already received my email regarding my request to delete my account which you have not replied to as the delete account button in the app does not work. I also requested you remove details which you have not actioned and said you need to keep my data for 6 years which is not reasonable. I was only joined for around a hour before I realised you were dishing my data out so why do you need to keep it for 6 years now? You also have not explained how the browser and app suddenly got my contact details without my inputting these or approving a data protection policy.

RIP OFF and Refund policy is shocking

Charging for leads you cannot get a hold of. Running refunds based on a percentage of your leads bought instead of what actually happens. They obviously do not trust you.
Leads so expensive compared to unlimited leads from checkatrade for a fixed annual membership fee.
Customer service is absolutely shocking, I was unable to speak to anyone and system cut you off when pressing the phone options.

The worst lead company I have encountered by a long way.
