Re: Feedback on a 'Check A Trade' tradesman
We were badly let down by a company with good feedback on Checkatrade. We left feedback ourselves but this was also given a good score because of the questions they asked. Yes, they were good timekeepers, and they were tidy workers but they didn't carry out the work they quoted for.30-10-2015, 11:38 PM

Ruddy awful when you need to get people in to do all the jobs you can do yourself and now struggle with.Finally , with luck got the boiler fixed after two weeks waiting, then only by luck.
Beats me how we have a job shortage, unless it is the demise of apprenticeships.

Spitty, I agree with ruthio.
I have just found a very pleasant gas man/plumber on check a trade, so it can work sometimes. I would give him a quick ring and remind him of his promise, but if he doesn't stick to his word this time, he'd be out on his ear, and I'd look elsewhere.

I look at recommendations on social media sites. They seem genuine.There is Streetlife, and Xxxx Recommends (Xxxx being the name of your town/city), the latter on FB.
If ever I needed someone/something, I'd head for there first (personally).
Can't be arsed with tradespeople letting me down like that.
