I get lots of recommends now from it and lots of repeats but the internet is now the starting point if someone doesn't know any trades person they Google "plasterer in Mansfield" mybuilder comes up first on Google and my name pops up in their face when they click on it. It's the future fortunately/unfortunately (depending on how you view it) I do about 50% of my quotes sat in my loungeGood for yourself....
though genuinely think it's sad that people don't talk to people Any more neighbours,family, friends etc to get recommendations!
I would avoid it personally they have some shocking reviews on the internet just google book a builder reviews. I’d rather check a trade it’s around the same price and you get loads of work from it if you keep up to date with your own reviews.anybody using book a builder,just had a phone call for me to join at £699 plus vat,promising ten leads a month,is it another rip off !
900 quid for just putting people together, it pisses me off all the different people leeching off trades men and why isn’t there a check a customer? You know the ones oh my job is so very important please be as quick as you can, then when you finish you here f**k all from them and have to chase for money that’s what pisses me off about domesticsI joined trust a trader last may,three phone calls,one job,it was a good job so payed for subscription and into profit but still disapointing for about 900 quid think,gonna f**k it off when it runs out and give check a trade a go.
A know mate its a lot of money,luckily it has payed for itself on that one job,not really sure if its that bad a thing as long as it turns a profit and you dont have the mindset That its gonna be your main source of work coz theres no f**k**g chance of that!900 quid for just putting people together, it pisses me off all the different people leeching off trades men and why isn’t there a check a customer?

Did you pay for an advert in the paper back in the day, it's the same really, pay to have your van sign written, it's all buying businessHell would have to freeze over before I paid to get work. The fact there’s more of these company’s cropping up is a sad state of affairs.
These company’s can afford to push their sites to the top of google so it pushes the other tradesmen and their websites down the pecking order. Annoys me. Money grabbing middle men preying on desperation.

We'll have to agree to disagree...they're the equivalent of a dating website, introduce relevant people to each otherI know what your saying Lodan but these people leech off your work, they are saying that unless you are on their books you are s**t and that is not right disgusting people
Do you have to take them out for a drink as well as pay them? Bloody hell it never stops what these people demandWe'll have to agree to disagree...they're the equivalent of a dating website, introduce relevant people to each other
Yes but the stuff you get to do to them after a bottle prosecco is worth itDo you have to take them out for a drink as well as pay them? Bloody hell it never stops what these people demand
In a way the same could be said about middlemen in the building game,a suppose there will be plenty lads on here quite happy to take a subbie price per metre and turn up on site and ultimately paying someone else along the way.ot dosnt really matter which way you do it ,word of mouth,contacts,adverts or whatever as long as it works for you,i do a lot of subbing to bigger rendering firms alongside my own so know what its costing me to work for themHell would have to freeze over before I paid to get work.

No mate would be no good for you, as you said is very suited to the 1 man bandI don’t use it personally never even thought of it really but iv got no problem with it, fair play @Lodan its obviously working for you, is it more suited to 1 man bands or do you think a company of 5 would get owt from it? My hourly rate is fairly high because we work for a few councils big companies airports etc so gotta a lot of overheads
I think Danny missed a trick when he didn't set one of these sites up a few years back
I've never paid to advertise, signed the vans etc. We have a website that's it, the thought of paying to get work, maybe at the start I guess but once your established.Nope
What sort of fee do my builder take for jobs at +80k?
That's not bad considering they charge £7.50+ VAT for the chance to be shortlisted to quote for skimming a cupboard in Mrs Jones grotty flat.
