Saw an Ad on tv for Ratedpeople.com and then read some tradesman reviews on various forums, none favourable, steer clear me thinks.
Does anyone use them?

Never even stayed on for the 30 day introductory period .......... not sure how it will instill faith in "rated" tradesmen ...... you simply pay for each lead, even if theysell that lead to plenty of others, so no sure jobs anyway !!

From thier site:
"Buy leads and quote to win work
We only sell a lead to 3 tradesmen. Buy leads via SMS, email or online (leads start from £2 + VAT). Contact customers immediately to arrange a time to quote on the work."
Well I can see how they make thier money now.
I dont think its really designed for cleaners. Maybe if win a large commercial contract from it.

I tried them for 2 months recently had only 2 enquiries one for a set of stairs and the other for a living room when i contacted both to quote only the one with a lounge replied and that was to get a rough quote, when I told them I would need to see to give a fair price she said "oh no I have had a price of £22.00 and if I cant beet that don't bother.
I have cancelled my subscription fort with. :P

Must be just me then. I've done quite a few jobs over the last few month. I could potentially quote more but they are in Manchester City Centre and for the hassle I know they wouldn't accept my price. You can usually get a jist from the wording on peoples add if they are serious and not wanting to pay peanuts.

I do a fair few through them aswell. You do get some timewasters but you can claim back the lead fee with those.

Registered with them for a two month free trial a couple of weeks ago, not had anything yet. A joiner gave me their details, he get loads of jobs from them.
