I use My Builder to find local, trustworthy tradesmen. I have used the site for three or four jobs now, and each time I have found local tradesmen who have been professional, knowledgeable and who have done a good job to my satisfaction. I would always recommend My Builder as a first step in finding tradesmen for any job.
Very good site. I've used this many times and have found the feedback facility excellent. It also helps me remember which tradesmen I've used as it stores all my old jobs so I can return to the good tradesmen I've used.
All tradesman BEWARE! My builder are posting false leads to simply make money out of honest tradesman simply trying to earn a living. If you are looking for more work AVOID this Company at all costs. If they had some sort of refund policy then it would be more attractive but they do not.
Totally delighted with the work done by JGM Landscapes. Replied to request to quote very quickly. Totally transformed my garden and have no hesitation recommending and would use for other work

I have used MYBUIDER. Com to get quotes for 10 jobs now. I have used them for 8 (the others were where I just used local tradesman). I have been very happy with the process and also the service and quality of work. It is invaluable to read other peoples feedback. In future I will always use this site to find professional tradesman for any job.
Trades people contacted me within hours and chose one who came the next day. The electrician was polite, professional and the cost was very reasonable. Will use My Builder again and will recommend them to family and friends.
Mybuilder is a Ripoff company only out to fill there pockets with tradesmens money. Invoice for None exciting jobs no customer vetting. No tradesmen customer services. Worst experience I've ever had in 30 years as a professional tradesmen.
This was the first time that I used MyBuilder and I was very pleased. The site is easy to use, the person that they sent round did a good job and went over and above his remit. I would certainly use them again.
Was really satisfied with the speed in which we got a quote. The communication was really clear and prompt. The finished room looks excellent. Well pleased and would have no hesitation in using mybuilder again.
MyBuilder reduces the anxiety concerning whether you are going to get a good trades-person or not. The concern, if you can call it that, is mainly whether you can get the best for the most reasonable price. I love the concept that MyBuilder is 'built' on and the fact that they have put in place systems of accountability to protect the customer from being scammed or ripped off. I have and will continue to recommend MyBuilder to people who are considering hiring a trader.
Two years ago MyBuilder member Ionut Lazar Handyserv LTD No. ******* used lead solder on water supply. Despite providing invoices, contract, solder laboratory tests reports, other tests and evidences etc. MyBuilder failed duties to care and refused to contact other Ionut clients so they can test water/solder for lead. They argument for letting people be poisoned with lead 'Ionut denied using lead in your property'.
MyBuilder protect members in price of customer health.
I used this website for the first time and procured SID Carpentery to lay down new laminate flooring in our kitchen. All the work was conducted cleanly and efficiently with neat finishes. Sid also installed a work top for us and gave us good guidance during the job. Always on time and stayed later to finish off the work.
Ben is a lovely guy and a thoroughly professional worker. We discussed the problem by phone, he knew what was needed and arranged for the job. He was on time and courteous. He explained what he was going to co and made a good job of it. I shall certainly use him again.
The site helps to find local tradesmen to do all sorts of jobs around the house. One can access the trademens' profiles and reviews to find the best man or quote for what is required. A very useful website indeed.
This is a brilliant site, its so easy to use, you post the job you want doing and the relevant trades man gets intouch with you and you can read his profile and what other people think of them, excellent
All of these companies are the same my builder, checkatrade, rated people they are only after a cut of small company profits. They really dont care who joins up there are no real checks done i could have been anybody i wanted to imagine when i joined, they didn't check. The dont tell customers that tradesmen are paying them to get details, and to be honest most people who use the site are only looking to see how cheap they can get things done. These companies claim to be helping consumers but in reality they only steal local customers away from local companies, instead of phoning around a few local guys with good reviews to give quotes at no cost to the tradesmen poeple post on these sites and can get quotes from people 50 miles away. Do your local small businesses a favour and call them direct these are just corporations wanting to syphon money out of local economies.
Have been using the site to hire tradesmen for the last 2-3 years and have not had a bad experience with anyone (yet!).
The site's interface is very easy to use and the advice centre has been very useful indeed.
I've used mybuilder.com a few times. It really takes the worry out of finding a reliable tradesperson. After listing a job you can communicate with anyone interested in taking the job and look at feedback left about them. It really helps you to determine whether someone is trustworthy and reliable before you hire them.
The My Builder site is easy to use and responses from interested tradesmen are easy to contact. With the reviews that have been left for the tradesmen who are interested in your job you can select the tradesman you wish to complete your job. I have used My Builder on three occasions and each time the jobs have been completed to a high standard. I wouldn't search anywhere else when I need work done that requires an expert.
I really love the service 'MyBuilder' gives in sifting out the ideal workman for whatever project you have, as they have a criterion for their workmen to adhere to which gives the customer confidence they are not going to have to potentially deal with a rogue trader.
The only thing I would suggest for their website is to allow the customer to upload photos before during and after the work has been done, as photos that workmen upload could be from anywhere, whereas when it's from the customer I believe it would give the review so much more validity and strength.
