Incredibly swift customer service
Incredibly swift customer service, knowledgeable & friendly. Precisely what customer service should be like in 2025.
These days it is exceptionally rare for a company to respond quickly (via human, not AI / automated response) to emails sent via their website. Not only did they do this, but then offered alternatives that were very helpful, several emails back and forth within an hour. Bravo!

Poor initial response but came good in the end.
My client's web address was wrongly attached to a business with a similar name. I opened a ticket to advise them of the error and the initial response was that there were no public sources to verify my claim.
After pointing out some public resources, they immediately took action and resolved the issue.
Well deserved 4 stars, in my opinion.

Went onto Cylex's to register my business. They wanted £1.00 for me to open my free listing. Then they sent me an email telling me they are taking £50.00 from my account unless I cancel my account. So I did. Now they are claiming they haven't received my second email cancelling. How do I stop them removing more money from my account.

Dear Mr. McKenzie,
Thank you once again for your communication.
We are genuinely disappointed that you have chosen to maintain your 1-star review, despite our thorough investigation and repeated requests for further details to help resolve your concerns. After carefully reviewing our records, we have found no account, business listing, or transaction linked to your name, email address, or any other details you have provided. Additionally, none of our services involve a £50 charge, and our optional Premium service is priced at £9.90 per month, requiring explicit user consent before any payment is processed.
To reiterate, Cylex does not request, store, or charge payment information unless a user has actively registered for a paid service. The vast majority of listings on our platform remain completely free, and we do not initiate charges without clear authorisation. Based on the information you initially shared, we have no record of any subscription, upgrade request, or billing activity connected to your details.
We fully understand your concerns about potential fraud and strongly recommend reviewing the source of any email or transaction notice you may have received. It is possible that the email in question did not originate from Cylex, and may have been part of a phishing attempt or a case of mistaken identity. Despite our requests, we have not received any additional information — such as the full content of the email you received, screenshots, or transaction references — which would allow us to investigate this matter further.
In light of these facts, we respectfully ask that you reconsider your public review, as it appears to be based on a misunderstanding or confusion unrelated to our platform. Public reviews have significant consequences for businesses like ours, and we believe fairness requires that reviews reflect verified experiences with the company in question.
Should you obtain any further information, we remain more than willing to assist you in resolving this matter.
Kind regards,
The Cylex Team

I couldn't be happier with the great service received from Exquisite Mouldings & Fireplaces! Mark repaired my boiler, serviced my electric fireplace, and replaced a radiator with absolute professionalism and efficiency. Not only was the work completed to a high standard, but he also took the time to explain everything clearly. He was punctual, worked diligently, and left all work areas spotless. Mark was so kind and friendly, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this company!

They are removing negative genuine reviews because companies are reporting them.
It doesn't matter if you have had a bad experience as a customer, Cyclex will remove them so the company paying them looks good and clients get mislead into using a poor service. I now do not trust any positive reviews on this site.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all reviews seriously and strive to ensure that every user experience is handled transparently and fairly.
We understand your frustration, but we want to clarify that reviews are not removed simply because a company reports them. As stated in our Terms & Conditions, when a review is flagged, we must verify that the reviewer genuinely had an experience with the company. We contacted you on March 5 for confirmation but did not receive a response. If you can provide proof of your experience, we will restore your review.

Cylex censors reviews with genuine business experiences
Cylex censors online reviews about businesses in case they are negative and if they point to illicit activities conducted by the business outside of their professional activity.
When a company owner proposed a out-of-court settlement with a discrete private meeting, I was able to flag this and post it online just fine on many websites. On Cylex though, they censored the names first, then asked for proof of this "experience" claiming there was abuse report(from the company obviously).
After submitting the evidence to prove it wasn't defamatory, they then removed it for not having a "professional" experience.
Update 18/01/2025:
Thats a load of nonsense. I can show you plenty of 5 star reviews on your platform for other firms with the names of employees mentioned commending their character positvely or non-professional information outside of the business activities. I see no removal of "names" or cooking up other reasons to remove those reviews.
The censorship regime only starts when they recieve a negative review as has already been pointed out on both the UK and US trustpilot pages for Cylex.
The EU GDPR doesn't even apply to the UK after brexit, that's the law, and I have an email from these guys pointing at it for no reason.

Hello,
Thank you for updating your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify and address your concerns further.
First, we want to emphasize that our goal at Cylex is to provide a fair and transparent platform for both reviewers and businesses. As part of our policies, reviews are not censored based on their tone or content, whether positive or negative.
However, we are obligated to comply with data protection regulations, including GDPR, which requires us to ensure that reviews do not include identifiable personal information, such as employee names, without their explicit consent.
You’ve mentioned other reviews that include names without removal. To clarify, we evaluate all reviews equally, and if names are flagged or come to our attention—regardless of whether the review is positive or negative—we address them consistently with our policies.
Regarding your comment about GDPR, while the UK has formally left the EU, the UK GDPR remains in effect as part of domestic law under the Data Protection Act 2018. Our policies are aligned with these regulations to ensure compliance and safeguard the rights of all parties involved.
For more information, you can refer to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) resources:

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-and-the-eu/data-protection-and-the-eu-in-detail/the-uk-gdpr/
Lastly, we requested documentation to verify the professional experience required under our Terms and Conditions, but none was provided. As such, we were unable to maintain the review. We remain open to revisiting this case if you are able to supply the requested documentation in the future.
We understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback. Should you have additional concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly so we can address them further.
Kind regards,

Updated review after Cyclex responded well to my initial concern
Ive updated my initial review of 1/5 after speaking to Cyclex and they took on board what I had said to resolve my experience. It appears that part of the problem was through a link with a review company ,Yably, that appeared to be part of their site, but after clarification is separate (but none the less unhelpful )
I've given 3/ 5 this time, Cyclex responded courteously, but as I don't actually use the company , and this is my only experience of them I decided to give a neutral score.
My original post was..
My name appeared on thier website without my permission. It is misleading and has contact buttons which lead to other businesses that are nothing to do with me. It appears that I am being used to lead to adverts for others.it also contains a review that has no basis , and no written back up, and seems computer generated.
It would appear to be phishing, and I'm not happy about it.
Update 14.1.25
Since contacting Cyclex direct, they have taken my link down as requested, and did so courteously and promptly.
I have suggested to them that they need to address the issues that bothered me, like changing the way links work, and in particular a company called Yably that seems to advertise with them that gave bogus personal reviews, (which appears to be Cyclex, but probably isnt..I am past caring)
I didn't ask to waste my time on any of this, so I don't feel like I can change the score, but at least Cyclex have been helpful in removing my name from them
Thanks
