Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone was familiar with Rated Tradespersons and whether it was worth having a go with?

Hi Mark,

Cutting a long story short mate, a very expensive way of getting no work

Hi there,just wondered if it was worth paying £120 a year for the work.Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

Its not worth paying anything for it Mark, its a con and you will more than likely find that people want quotes over the phone.

Your better off just banging your cards everywhere, leaving your van outside tile shops over the weekend (if its sign written) and flyering DIY shop car parks on your quiet days....

give it a go your first quote is free and your first three months membership is free but i do find that you have to be cheap i usally charge £15.00 m2 when i quote for jobs i have tried £25.00 m2 but never get the jobs so give it a go it keeps me going

Local paper, local newsagents displays, local church mags etc............

Never used it and doubt I ever will.

Would never like to estimate\quote a job blind on the phone anyway.

Waste of time and money.I am a plumber and specialise in full bathroom fit outs and had a wide range of skills covered.Used 15 leads and only got out to one quote to "sell" myself.Sent in quotes by e-mail and wasted my time constantly phoning people who never replied.ditched it rapid.Stay well clear-tried to use it to fill a gap and ended up getting work through someone spotting my van.Get cards,get a van,get the job.:wink_smile:

Another alternative is to get your NVQ2/3 & CSCS, and get yourself on site.

Lads that we are putting through here are taking on contracts from old skool unqualified tilers that refuse to qualify.

Find me on the NVQ forum if you have questions on how to get it.
