I've been using Onlinetradesmen for a couple of years now, and it's been a great way to pick up steady electrical work. The leads are generally genuine, and one decent job usually covers the cost

Great platform for getting real jobs and building client trust

I’ve been using OnlineTradesmen.ie for a while now and I can honestly say it’s made a big difference to my business. The platform connects me with genuine clients who are actively looking for tradespeople — no time-wasters.

Posting and managing jobs is easy, and I appreciate how the system helps build trust through reviews and verified leads. I’ve met some great clients through it, many of whom became repeat customers.

It’s also a great way to build your online presence if you’re a serious tradesperson looking to grow. Highly recommended if you take pride in your work and want to stay busy.

Very Poor Service

Very poor service given.
Tradesman Joe said he would call later in the week, never did.
Then promised to call the next week, never did.
Haven't heard from him since.
Most unimpressed with the service and would not recommend!

Hi Eamon, we're sorry to hear you didn’t get the response you expected.

We’ve checked and there’s no record of a tradesman named Joe linked to your job. It also looks like the project was listed under “Bathroom Refit” for a small repair, status as 'budgeting', which may have limited interest.

We’d recommend reposting the job under a more suitable category with updated details to improve your chances of hearing back.

As a small Irish business, we rely on fair and accurate reviews to help people find and trust our service. While we completely understand your frustration, we’d just like to gently note that our platform’s role is to connect homeowners with available tradespeople, rather than deliver the service directly. Your one-star review doesn't reflect this.

Response times

Response times, quality of workmanship, variety of tradespeople on the platform make it a no brainer compared to traditional way of getting stuff done at your home.

Thank you for using Onlinetradesmen.

We’re sorry you didn’t receive any responses—our electrical category is very busy, and no tradesmen were available for your requested date.

We regret we couldn’t meet your expectations this time and hope to assist you better in the future.

Impossible to cancel subscription.

I have emailed numerous times to cancel my subscription and they are still taking money from my account. When I initially joined I said to them on the phone “three months subscription only”. Five months later they are still taking my money. There was a link for cancellation but when I go to it, it sends me around in circles. When I click on it,it kept bringing me back to the same thing! They don’t want you to cancel. Then they want reasons why I am cancelling, when I give them a reason there is no reply and they take my money again! I am so angry with this company. Then I can’t get a real human to answer the phone to explain all this! Onlinetradesmen, don’t even reply to this review with excuses, I did everything to cancel and you make it almost impossible. How dare you continue to take my money when it was just a Three month contract. How am I supposed to get my money back now when you don’t answer the phone, you just keep sending repetitive emails with” we are sorry to see you leave”. It should be “we are not letting you leave”!. Terrible service.

SCAM, Tradesmen avoid

Joined Online Tradesman to get some extra jobs and make money, they took my €100 to register and after they take your money they ask for certs I dont have and wont refund my money even though I have used none of their services!! ABSOLUTE SCAM! Customer service is also a joke.

They claim they state you need qualifications to which I have but do not specify exactly what certs you need until after you pay😂😂😂
They have no problem with you paying but wont refund when you have not used their services at all!

Hello Kevin, When you registered your business, Kevin G Electrical, with OnlineTradesmen, it was clearly stated that proof of trade qualifications is required to access job leads. This is a necessary step to protect both homeowners and tradespeople — and to comply with legal requirements.

You were particularly frustrated about not receiving Safe Electric job leads. However, without a valid Safe Electric qualification, it would be illegal and irresponsible for us to provide Kevin G Electrical with such work. We take compliance and safety seriously, which is why this requirement is non-negotiable.

We have offered to help you activate your account for job leads that match the qualification you stated you hold, but have not submitted.

Per our terms and conditions, subscriptions are non-refundable. That said, we’re still happy to assist you in completing your registration so you can access the full benefits of the platform.

If you’d like to move forward or discuss this further, our team is here to help.

Dear Noel, We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We are committed to helping businesses like yours succeed, and we regret that you felt disappointed by the service.

In relation to your contract, you signed up for our Premium Monthly Plan, which is very transparent in stating a 3-month minimum term. This timeframe is designed to give you the best possible opportunity to build a strong pipeline of work, launch your standalone business website, and benefit from the full range of support tools available. If you had preferred more flexibility, our Pay As You Go plan—with no minimum term—was always available at the time of sign-up.

We also want to clarify a point you raised in your review. We respect every user’s right to leave honest feedback. However, when a review includes references to individual colleagues or contains potentially damaging or defamatory claims, we may reach out—not to threaten—but to protect the individuals involved and ensure a fair and respectful dialogue. This is a standard part of our process.

Noel, our support team had offered to assist during your time on the platform, and that offer still stands. We remain ready to help you make the most of the tools and opportunities available.

Wishing you all the best with New Gardens Landscaping.
