Any one on here use servicemagic.co.uk are they any good?
-
I've used them and probably will again; if memory serves me correctly I bought credits from them which were used to display the full details of 'headnote' jobs which ping in by e mail. As I recall, they were good at refunding credits for those situations in which 'Daily Office Cleaning London Mon -Fri' turns out to be someone using the site to apply for a job.

a bit off topic but why does you profile link to a site that only has adverts on it pristine?
-
Ah - that's because I haven't updated it.
Pristine Clean was my first decent sized cleaning company which I set up in 2003 but which outlived its useful life around 2008 when the builders cleans on which it had grown so heavily reliant disappeared. I retained a couple of contracts which would have been too much of a pain to transfer and it plods along as a little company which makes enough of a profit to justify its continued existence.
In partnership with a property management company, I started a new company this year called am facilities management. All kinds of deals and agreements, as you can imagine, but front and centre was a non competition clause. I can retain my current contracts but can't market for more so that means no website for Pristine any more.
It's very much a work in progress since I haven't started the marketing campaign yet (the property management company have more than lived up to their promise of work provision) but my website is now
http://www.amfacilitiesmanagement.co.uk/
All comments welcome :-)

Hi,
Very good question, i have signed up with Servicemagic 3 days ago, i chased them twice for leads and still haven't received any. How good are they? Do you actually get any business?

I am not familiar about UK because I operate in US, but it US people are sick of Servicemagic, you can read reviews about Servicemagic from US cleaners, hope that helps:
