TrustATrader

To all traders
I have advertised on trust a trader now for 3 years and never had a bad review regarding my works I recently had 1 bad review published from some one iv never worked for and not being able to prove iv never worked for them it was put up and another review published with false claims and after sending all correspondent to trust a trader I had with the customer inc photos supplied by my customer which evidently proved she had undone my work due to diy it was posted
I will be removing everything I have associated to trust a trader.
It seems to me as a trader you don't even have to work for some one and they will post a review

A local cowboy builder who was recently in the paper for being as such had excellent reviews on trustatrader. I unfortunately thought trustatrader was a reputable review site. So I chose this cowboy builder. Based on trustatraders good reviews.
This cowboy fleeced me and in the end had to go to court.

Trustatrader wouldnt post my negative review. Even though I provided evidence of the court proceedings which they asked for. They simply stopped responding to emails.
They are more criminal that the cowboys.
I am in this mess as a direct result of their negative review filters.

Handyman arrive, so friendly and polite.
Done everything asked for within the timeframe.
Absolutely recommend this company. Fantastic service.
Thank you

LN Rooflines carried out some much needed guttering on my property February 2016, Excellent work and customer service, very impressed as I was regularly advised of the work being carried out on my property. Without any hesitation I would definitely recommend LN Rooflines to all my family and friends.

Excellent work Lawrence thank you

I had my workmen from trust a trader thinking i would be protected in some sort of way being that there on a well known web-sight as TrustATradoer but definitely not the company i used quoted me 6 weeks to carry out quite a bit of work on my family home im now 7 months in and my house is still not complete being that my sons bedroom is still a building site work all of a sudden just stopped and after excuse after excuse i decided to go to the place i got my workmen from POINTLESS nothing they can do wont post my review they told me they would act as an mediator but that had no affect ether massively out of pocket

Merlx Electrical Sheffield joined TrustATrader earlier this year, at first I was sceptical about paying for a service for leads however it's proved to be the best investment I made this year, not only do we get a great service form TrustATrader we also receive reviews fro our customers and a numbe4 of leads come direct from customers seeking a professional service who have checked out our company on TrustATrader website!

Having heard such extensive radio advertising about Trust-A-Trader, I decided to give them a go. I selected a company to do my driveway based on his excellent reviews and list of accreditations. To cut a long story short, the work was poor, they never returned my calls, and they tried to double the original quoted price half way through the job.

Upon realising that this website may actually be a scam, I decided to check listing in my own trade, and to my horror they were all the well known cowboy companies.

Like the hundreds of other people I've found by doing a few web searches, Trust-A-Trader never posted my detailed negative review about the trader. It's simply a paid business directory with clever marketing. They are simply there to make money, and they can only do that by maintaining the image of their paying advertisers. No doubt some companies on there are genuine, but from what I've seen of the companies listed in my own trades listings, I wouldn't touch any of them with a barge pole!

My wife and I found a tradesman through trustatrader to renovate a utility room and bathroom. I wont go into it too much as I have had almost a year of pain trying to get any sort of contact from the cowboys who run trustatrader. To cut a long story short, the builder we used wasn't a builder full time (found this out afterwards) and he burst pipes which he said he had sorted when infact when we employed an actual professional we had boiling water underneath our tiles which had spread meaning we needed to pay twice to get someone else in to rip it all out again as all of his jobs he did were an absolute disgrace. We eventually found out that the builder was infact bankrupt when he started the job (CGM Building services - Chris Moore) so why on earth did trust a trader have him on their books (oh I know why, because its another revenue stream for them). STAY AWAY FROM THEM, DO NOT USE THEM OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY AND RUIN YOUR HOUSE!
