Shocking service

Shocking service. Can’t upload my gas safe register. Can’t sign into my account. Was promised a pay monthly scheme and money still comes out of my account when accepting leads. Tried numerous times emailing with no luck. Poor service

I am not sure how many times I can ask them to leave me alone and cancel this useless account.
All they do is keep asking for payments while delivering nothing for ages.

More support is a must

The platform is simple to use, however the major problem with Rated People is a serious lack of support availability, it is impossible to speak to a human when a problem occurs. The app is also down quite often, although they do make fixes.

Lighting fault fixed instantly

Alex diagnosed the fault in an obsolete fluorescent light and fixed it instantly. I was very grateful for this as no-one else would quote for the job. New to business he seemed unsure of how to collect payment but managed to sort this out. Excellent service and will certainly use him again

SCAMMER. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

The Company we used was not checked properly. Did not have Public Liability Insurance in place.

The guy who ran it was a scam artist.

We looked up the Company Pinnacle Construction.

Not registered anywhere.

Could not find any info on it, neither did any other site list them for jobs

Rated People made me believe that they were properly vetted.

Taking Pinnacle Construction (Mr Aron Kiff) to court.

Not good, disappointed

Been with Rated People for over Five years. First Four years were superb and all worked well both the online platform experience and the number of leads coming through.
I built my business up from nothing using Rated People and couldn't sing there praise high enough over the first Four years. However the past year things have changed and the way things work has changed making it more difficult to work with Rated People. Communication has become slow and number of leads in our trade range has dropped quite dramatically. There new unlimited system is actually the opersite and limits the broad number of trade leads you can go for unless you pay extra for other leads outside your selected tradessuch as carpentry or gardening for example. My business has been built purely on offering a wide range of skills and not just one or Two percific trade types. Being a rural based business there is never enough work in just One or Two trade types. If you work in a city you have Tens of Thousands of pertensal customers in a rural area you have maybe just hundreds. This has been the deal breaker and so left Rated People to join other online platforms that are not restrictive in this respect.

Very good window repair specialist

Needed a window specialist urgently to repair bent scissor hinges on wooden casement. Mith came promptly as promised, did a very tidy and professional job at a fair price. Very courteous and helpful. Would use again. Recommended. Rated People is an excellent website to contact reliable and competent trades people.

Awful. Impossible to amend a ticket once published. Despite them sending me my email ‘click here to amend’. No tradespeople accepted the job. How can it be any worse?

Arrived on time. Plumbed in a garden tap professionally and no mess

L & R Gas & Renewables quoted a competitive price to plumb and fit a garden tap. Lawrence did an excellent professional job quickly and left everything clean and tidy.

Rated People replied to our job requirement quickly and supplied 3 quotations from professional plumbers. Thank you.
