MyBuilder

I was new to online sites for building services. I put in 'looking for carpenter' and up popped Mybuilder along with zillions of other some well known sites (don't get hook on a company you recognise as it's been around for yonks... if you get my drift). Decided to try Mybuilder and now after my 3rd job request and completion at great satisfaction I must say it will be my go to sight for all my needs and they've got some free adverts with all I encounter. I'd even wear a tee shirt if they had one... hint hint:-) Mybuilder is the best! I'm one happy customer.

The simple point is they do not vet their advertisers. The builder I engaged from this site had no Public Liability Insurance although on My Builder he was advertised as having it.
Secndly his address was false.
Thirdly Although advertised as a professional with a website after I engaged a private detective to track him down we discovered he was in fact a traveller living in a caravan.
Overview.
Anyone can set up a professional looking website and get themselves excellent online reviews, false or otherwise.
My. Builder were not at all interested. Why should they be. Their income is derived from their advertisers who wish to look good and will pay for it.
Whetheret or not they operate in the consumers interest is highly questionable. They certainly didn't in my case.
You cannot beat a word of mouth recommendation. My recommendation do not use sites such as My Builder. I never will again.

I spent a productive afternoon in February posting jobs for 3 separate trades. Very easy site to negotiate. In the space of a day I had arranged visits from trades who wanted the job With the exception of one, who didn't turn up or inform me that he wasn't coming I had speedy quotes and by the end of the week I had the people I needed. I found the whole experience a very easy way of finding well qualified trades people and reading the reviews both positive and negative gave a feeling of confidence in who you were spending your money with.

My Builder.com is a fantastic tool when it comes to searching for a trades person. I always read the trade persons profile along with their customer feed back. As of yet I have not been disappointed as I have successfully hired a builder, a plasterer plus a joiner.
I highly recommend My Buider.com

It's for customer service. Shortlist fees. Are some fake jobs offers l! Customer add you on shortlist never pick up the phone! If you report to mybuldier they don't care about it!
Don't even try to verify it just sent you an invoice but in rules said totally different store! Shem on you! I did contact with mybuldier customer service. They said they don't care. I'm sure it's not only me... I think mybuldier open fake account just to rip you off. Added you as a shortlist but never pick up the phone. It's not happen once it's happening all time. After reported to customer service they don't do anything to help you.

We hired someone we thought was good because we believed the reviews about him and his 5 star rating. He didn't do the job and basically stole our money. We thought we'd be safe hiring through mybuilder. Money down the drain and we have to find and pay someone else now.

Totally disgusting my builder treated me, I gave a friend three projects, but he asked if put through my builder so I did,, reason give reviews for him,, he is a good tradesmen, they took is money, they removed my reviews, didn't tell me why, charged styles images 30 pounds, they took is reviews off site, would only say it was against policy to work for poeple you know, I'm taking it to trading standards,, the site is fiull of poeple lying about how good they are, they get one good person and treat him likes. Hes criminal, don't use this site...

This is the third time we have used mybuilder.com and each time been delighted with the service. It's so easy to get quotes and then choose the right trades person to complete the job. I have recommended mybuilder.com to family and friends and is our go to site for getting any work done.

Have used this site a number of times and have been happy with each occasion. Initial responses from tradesmen are generally very prompt and the online reviews very helpful. I would be happy to use this site in the future to find other tradesmen.

I obtained this site from a relative who found a plaster to skim a room great job. I posted a cladding job to an exterior wall had three quotes and chose Direct Cladding from rainham Essex excellent service and good product plus competitive price

If you want to pay for fake leads which I believe are people in their offices responding and making up jobs then disappearing you will be broke before you even start. £200 for 9 leads 1 spoken to and when I sent him his quote I got no response, SCREAMS SCAM!

You have been chosen to quote, sounds great, you then pay, in my case £35 for a telephone number. Remember this person has chosen me to quote, you call the number, no reply, no opportunity to quote. Still charged, very miss leading, be careful.

Svetoslav Dimitrov re built my kitchen for me and is a first class reliable and trusted worker.
I want to be sure that "My Builder" gives a first class recommendation for his work and reliability he fulfils
Completely the job required, to suit the customer.
I will use him again

The MyBuilder website is easy to navigate and puts you in contact with many nearby tradesmen quickly. You can easily see reviews and the qualifications of relevant tradespersons and usually have a good choice of well qualified persons for a particular job. Well recommended.

I M very happy with the service I received from Alex.
He replied straight away, gave me the price an I accept it an fixed thd date, as they advice us to get a quote from at list 4 so I was bit septical that I should have few more quote!.He sound genuine and must say he was down to earth did so much extra and never charge, I even offered more money but he won't take it. I recommend him 100% did very good job and very nice person.God bless him

I hae used this site many times for finding an - maintainance person to fit really big wardrobes, chests of draws - electrician (changing lights and switches etc) - carpet fitters (for hall, front room and spiral stairs).
It is so easy to use and the tradesperson can contact you immediately.
I used this site when it was said that checkatrade reviews were always 4/5 and negatives were not always shown.
I will always use mybuilder.com as the people listed are always brilliant and very helpful.

Thank all of you

Inevitably suresome people have bad experiences with bad tradesman, not everyone works to the highest standard and if this happens I can see that it is hard for Mybuilder to prevent this happening. That said some trades are victims of bad customers. My builder takes significant commission from tradesman to get jobs(multiple tradesman pay for the same job and they dont like the public to know this). They however refuse to support the people who pay them when there is a dispute not matter how small. This company like all online trade finding sites need to be regulated and shut down if they continue to fail in their responsibilities. Both public looking for trades and tradesman should steer well clear of all lof these sites.

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.

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.

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
