Posted a landscaping job and within hours had several interested local firms on Rated People. The one we chose transformed our back garden and the reviews on the site were a true reflection of their work. Smooth from posting to completion, and great value for the quality we got.
Quick quotes, accurate reviews
Rated People matched us with a kitchen fitter who was punctual, tidy and genuinely skilled. I could read his reviews and past job photos before agreeing, which made the decision easy. The whole job came in on budget and looks fantastic. Could not fault the platform at all.
Quality matches with verifiable reviews
Rated People is genuinely convenient for getting your job in front of local trades fast. That said, the standard varies a lot; my plasterer was top notch but a handyman from the same site did a shoddy job and was hard to chase. Worth using, just read every review carefully before you commit.
Convenient and quick to get quotes
Trade quality varies widely
Posted a fencing job on Rated People and got responses fairly quickly, which was helpful. The downside was being bombarded with calls and texts the moment I posted, before I had even decided anything. Found a good tradesperson in the end, but the volume of contact was a bit overwhelming.
Fast responses from local trades
Overwhelming volume of calls after posting
Used Rated People to find a decorator for the whole upstairs and the chap we picked did a lovely neat job. Posting was simple and the reviews helped me narrow it down quickly. Only minor niggle was that one trader who showed interest never followed up after I messaged him.
Simple posting, helpful reviews
One trader didn't follow up
