MB Decorators Ltd painted the outside…

MB Decorators Ltd painted the outside of my house. Quote was from this site. Communication from Charlie was excellent, quote was reasonable and firmed up following a visit to the house. Job was weather dependant but they contacted me at first hint of good weather and 3 guys got the job done over 2 days. Workmen were excellent

Disappointed

We asked for our garden lawn to be mowed, borders to be weeded and rubbish to be removed. Had a quote of £240 for the work which the gardener said would take most of a day. He came with another man, took one hour, didn’t remove any weeds from the borders or the rubbish and didn’t cut the grass properly. Very disappointed.

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS-YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

To all the people here complaining they can’t cancel their membership to rated people ltd ?
YES THATS RIGHT ! THESE LOT WONT LET YOU CANCEL NO MATTER WHAT.
I cancelled 1 day after taking it out because i realised it was a mis-sold subscription,
yet they billed me every month for a year and when they couldn’t get the money they sent debt collectors. So there’s no cooling off period atall! You decide if you wanna sign up to this ?
ALL TRADESMAN TAKE REAL CARE…

Don’t hire Scott

I hired a guy called Scott last year and he in the end was abusing, bullying and claimed to be a professional. Didn’t do the work in my kitchen and ripped me off for at lest £500.

Paisley contractors are great to work with

I was pleased with Rated people to find Trades. I decided on Paisley Contractors to do the job. I am very happy with the painting done by Steven & Scott. The price was brilliant & the boys did the job in a few hours, very tidy and I will certainly use them again.

Misleading recommendations and no real accountability

My experience with Rated People has seriously undermined my trust in the platform.

I used it to find a contractor for a fencing job. The tradesperson recommended to me appeared to primarily work as a painter/decorator, yet was matched to a fencing project. The work carried out was poor and quickly became unsafe, forcing me to pay for urgent repairs at my own expense.

I submitted a detailed complaint with clear evidence (photos, timeline, costs). Rated People acknowledged it and said they contacted the tradesperson, but no meaningful action followed.

The most concerning part is that my honest review of the trader was removed. That raises real questions about how reliable and transparent the platform’s review system actually is.

From my experience, Rated People provides limited protection when things go wrong and its recommendation process did not give me confidence that the tradesperson was suitably matched to the job.

I would strongly advise anyone using this platform to carry out their own checks and not rely solely on the ratings or suggested tradespeople.

Hi,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear about the fencing work and the issues you encountered with the tradesperson.

As we are sure you are aware, Rated People is an introductory service and any contracts or agreements are between you and the tradesperson. We are therefore unable to accept any liability for the actions of either party or the quality of work undertaken as a result of the introduction and in respect of losses, however we will fully co-operate with any investigations that take place.

Many Thanks,

After being badly let down by task rabbit to assemble flat packed furniture I turned to the Internet to look for alternatives and came across Rated People . The process was simple and within an hour I had an offer of help and I could see on the app that he had 5 star reviews so booked him . Excellent choice .

Efficient for electricians

In my experience, Rated People stands out when compared to Checkatrade and MyBuilder. I consistently receive at least two leads per day, and the monthly membership cost is easily covered by completing just one job.

Highly recommended for electricians running a small business.
