I was very impressed with the site. After describing my job (carpet fitting) I had three trades people contact me for estimates. They were all very professional and helpful. It finally came down to price. I would use this site again.
I've used this site for a few years. It's very easy to use and gets tradesmen in touch very quickly. I've had Electricians, Carpenters, Plasterers and more. Always been pleased with service provided. All of the tradesmen on this site will want your positive feedback so they will surely do a good job.
I also like the Q&A feature, if you're a diy enthusiast & have got a question regarding jobs you're doing then you can post it on the site and tradesmen will offer free answers and advice.
I've used my builder.com three times now and see no reason OT to use them in the future. In each case I've received a variety of quotes so its wise to obtain and / or invite at least 3 firms to quote. One job had a quote of twice the the price of the firm we used.
We have found all the companies to be reliable, clean, courteous and professional.
It's a good system.
I've used my builder.com for several jobs whilst doing up a buy to let property. All the tradespeople I've used so far have been honest, fair in price, and responsive to correspondence. I normally get a fair few response from tradespeople who are keen to work, and they've always turned up on time, given a reasonable quote and been reliable if appointed. It's made life much easier, and the review feature gives you confidence in who you choose to work with. I'll be continuing to use the website from now on rather than our local forum.
Excellent site allows you to invite 5 tradesmen of your choice based on their feedback and also you can look at others who express an interest. I have had very mixed results with tradesmen I have hired in the past but I have had 3 jobs completed from my builder and they were all done to a high standard for very competitive prices. Next time I need work done, I'll definitely hire through my builder
I've had several jobs undertaken at my home by tradesmen (and women) that I have found on myBuilder. Having always heard about cowboy builders on tv I was very reluctant to hire someone. But myBuilder is a fantastic place to find reliable, friendly tradesmen.
I had my wall fixed as it kept getting knocked down by annonymous vehicles the builder was really polite and helpful, arrived in time and was very professional, I an more than happy with the work he carried out and would definitely recommend him
After struggling using other sites to find reliable tradesman, this site came up trumps. The site was very easy to use. We had multiple jobs we needed doing so had to post our requirements separately but it was easy to do. Within hours we were given a number of tradesmen to review. Each had a profile making our selection easier. The whole process from then on was slick and the tradesmen we used were of good quality and quoted reasonable prices. We have since recommended both the site and one of the tradesman to friends and family. We will be using the site again.
I would like to thank Paul & Lee for my beautiful bathroom their advice was first class and their workmanship was excellent. I will be contacting them again in the very near future when I have a new kitchen.
So far i have used 2 contractors from this site one for a garden tidy up and one to lay flooring and fit kitchen door absolutely perfect site to find any tradesmen very satisfied with both contractors and would recommend the use of my builder first rate service and like the ad on TV it says it all and you get first class professionals
Apex Construction has done great work on our property: first, Ben and Ashley built us a new chimney, and now they are working on a lovely reclaimed brick garden wall for us. We look forward to greeting Ben and his team every day that they are here, as they are a total pleasure to have around. They also are extremely neat and clean, and don't leave messes behind for others to clean up. I should add that, prior to locating them via the internet, we had never heard of them and knew none of them. And now we feel as though not only have we met great contractors, but, even better, we've met some really delightful, wonderful people! So, thanks, Kelly, Ben, Ashley, Will, and Les (the leader of "the clan") (and thanks to little George, too, for stopping by!):-)
Used this site 3 times now and found great guys to do the jobs (plumber/gas fitter, staircase/Joiner, tiler/ all round diy guy.
Really easy site and process to use, as a single girl, totally brilliant for sorting out the wheat from the cowboys!
MyBuilder helped me find three excellent tradespeople for paving, driveway and wooden flooring. Three projects that were very very reasonably priced but with a first class finish. Definitely restored my faith. It was very easy to post the project I needed and I received responses very quickly.
My builder has made moving home a lot easier as the flat needed a bit of work, carpet and the like. You always get a really quick response and I've not once had a bad experience so I use the site whenever I need anything doing and the tradesman always do a fab job, in fact I would ask them back to do further improvements to the flat. Now I never have to look in the paper. Write your review to help others learn about this online business
This is a good way of getting big and small jobs done and it must be helpful for builders and associated trades who can organise their time better. Using reviewed builders makes it safer for everyone although you might need to check skilled people are part of their appropriate regulatory bodies too. All the people I have used have been great and the job has got done with the minimum fuss. The process is simple and straightforward. It's a good organisation.
I have used this site for the last year.
It started when I needed a quick quote and a job done fast but to a good standard.
Now I also use it for our Resident Company.
It provides a good base of different trades located around you, where ever you are, and you can check previous feedback on a tradesmen to put your mind at rest.
You also get a peace of mind that they were checked and all insured (if applicable).
I found this site very useful, and am keep coming back over and over again.
I was very pleased with the fast response from tradesmen for the job advertised. Had a visit and a quote within days and the work carried out was brilliant, and at a much better price than I had been quoted elsewhere. Would definitely use MyBuilder again - though most work would go to the tradesman employed on this occasion - only need to look elsewhere if it is something they could not do.
I was very happy with the response from using my builder. I have used this website before with great results.
You can read reviews before you commit to a tradesman and as they know you will be posting a review it is in their best interest to do a great job.
I used KB building services and would definitely recommend. Prompt responses to e mails and messages. Job completed quickly and efficiently, tidied all areas and took all rubbish away.
I found mybuilder a good way of getting tradesman in for work. I like how you can post the job and get people who know that they can fix it replying. You can view their feedback and pictures before agreeing to get the work done so it's safer than picking someone at random.
I have used this website a number of times and can safely say it has delivered on every occasion. The website makes it easy for people who need someone they can trust to do tricky jobs in and around the house - it has not failed me once! Great work!
Answer: From what I gather they just check. Insurances! No qualifications or registration checks at all!
Answer: Hi Mitsy, the service is completely free for homeowners.
Answer: Well you can always try, in anyway they would remove your reviews as they did mine. Depend which trader though! Some of them seems to be more protected than others...
