I made the right choice when agent called me regarding my request for a painter and decorator. The ceiling in the kitchen had water damage, and in order to get the correct paint he took me to buy the right choice of primer and paint for the job without charging any extra. The rest of the kitchen was also painted and there was also some pointing and painting to be done in the living room with the help of his cousin. The work was clean and tidy and I am pleased with everything that took place. If there is any further work to be done in the future I will have no hesitation in calling him.

I have used rated people twice now and both transactions were trouble free..As a single woman living alone I did not want to use them at first because of security issues,and you are guided only by the recommendations given...I have been delighted by the standard reached in chimney repair and some kitchen fitting ..Both workers were diligent and honest also clean and pleasant...When the average builder will not reply to messages left on his mobile what else can people do to get one?.Nice to know there are some decent people left in the world!!

Excellent service and work. Very clean and tidy. G&G plasterers are very good and we would definitely recommend. Well Done.

Let’s put it simple they really hate in replying to tradesmen especially when it comes to dealing with bogus leads etc .So rated people needs to work on those issues for the genuine traders .thats the only reason tradesmen have lost their interest in it .........

The person I dealt with did a wonderful job painting and decorating my living room last week. I found this gentleman to be hardworking, polite and true to his word. He removed an old fire place and installed a new one. He also painted the whole room and even fitted a couple of heavy curtain rails free of charge. I would use him again and would also recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and hardworking painter and decorator.

I was fleeced by a tradesman who overcharged me by hundreds of pounds so I left a negative review weeks ago. I've just checked his profile and he has 13 reviews posted, all of which are for 5 stars. My negative review has been deleted somehow.

Posting fake leads. When called out on it they refuse a refund. Only credit... to buy more fake leads!!

Had some repointing done to the side of our house. The person I dealt with visited to send an estimate, then his man did the job. Very pleased with the work, everything left clean and tidy afterwards. He was good at communicating and prompt In his replies to queries. Have no hesitation in recommending him.

Use the yellow pages, or better still personal recommendations instead. We used Rated People because of their claim that they perform various checks on tradesmen before promoting them. This is either patently untrue, or seriously flawed, as the tradesman we ended up with has a long history of CCJs stretching back over half a decade. We only found this out after having to take legal action against him to recover £2k for flawed work and dishonesty. Rated People simply didn't want to know, and evaded answering my specific question as to what went wrong with their vetting. Instead they simply repeated stock answers amounting to 'buyer beware' (something which has only recently become a theme on their website - beyond the small print), and refused to accept any responsibility for the issue. Scanning social media (and this review site), I am not alone in my experience. Indeed, their business model is predicated on selling leads to traders, us poor mugs as householders are not their concern - and they illustrate this by treating us with contempt. They NOW provide detailed advice on checking out potential tradesmen. If you have to take such steps to protect yourself, you might as well use Yellow Pages to find a local company. You'll get the same result.

He came to fit an outside tap. From the start he was polite, efficient and so laid back he didn't even flinch when i haggled the price a girly thing!). The job was done in about an hour and done very well. He also agreed to clean the garden slabs on the spot and finished the job, even though it was absolutely falling down out there. He was quite literally soaked to the skin but refused to come inside and dry off before the job was finished. All this was done on a single glass of water in spite of offers of refreshments. As far as i am concerned he went above and beyond the call of duty and he's on my speed dial from now on.

I was struggling to find work so I took a gamble on ratedpeople. £60 it cost me for 3 months. You get lead credit to purchase job leads which permanently goes from you account balance wether you get the job or not. It tricked me into thinking I was 1st to buy the job lead when, after purchased I found out I was not. if the customer doesn't reply you have to go through vigorous steps to get your credit back which can take weeks. Bare in mind without credit you cant purchase job leads. It wouldn't surprise me if the job leads were made up. this site needs reporting I cant believe it gets top of google ads when there are real businesses trying to make it. Overall I am 60 quid down absolute jokers

I had new bathroom carpet fitted which was very thick and soft in texture. However, upon fitting I discovered the doors would not open and close, certainly freely due to the thickness of the fitted carpet. I, therefore, needed two doors removed from their hinges and the bottoms shaved off, allowing them to open and close freely with the doors being re-hung. After contacting rated people with my details, PLP house maintenance Ltd contacted me by e-mail confirming he could do the work along with the price. I replied confirming the price suggesting a date and within a time period convenient to me. He confirmed the date was acceptable along with arriving and completing the job within a time that was acceptable to me. He did all that. He did all that I asked and required. The work was excellent and the Trades person very pleasant and obliging to deal with. He left the work area very tidy and clean. I have no complaints and would both recommend the individual and his work. I live in Eastbourne.

First call went really well,so well that we placed order for Orangery and new kitchen at a really good price. A great person who listened to what we wanted within our budget.He then set out in detail what we could expect and it was just right for us. We have no negative issues.

An honest man doing an honest job at an honest price, a jewel in a crown. I am a woman living alone and have had many "Cowboys" who have ripped me off but this guy, such a good man, trustworthy and diligent did an excellent job. Singles ladies he put a ring on it!

This review is about Sussex Plumbing and Bathrooms.I contracted him to tile my kitchen. When the job was 75% finished, he asked for payment in full. I protested saying I'd pay in full when job finished, but he insisted and drove me to the bank. I HAVE NOT SEEN HIM SINCE! ( 2 MONTHS ). HE HAS GIVEN ME EVERY POSSIBLE EXCUSE YOU COULD THINK OF ( PROBLEMS AT HOME, LACK OF TIME, NOT WELL, WIFE NOT WELL HE COULD WRITE A BOOK ON EXCUSES. BEFORE I HIRED HIM, I LOOKED AT HIS REVIEWS AND THERE WAS ONE TERRIBLE ONE ON THERE. I CHALLENGED HIM ABOUT IT AND HE SAID IT WAS ABOUT A FORMER PARTNER. DO NOT BELIEVE IT, IT WAS ABOUT HIM. AVOID HIM LIKE THE PLAGUE, HE WILL TURN YOU OVER. WORSE, THE WORK HE ACTUALLY DID WAS SHODDY - IN FACT VERY BAD. THE MAN I HAD TO GET IN TO FINISH OFF ( AND PAY! ) SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A MESS. HE EVEN LEFT ME WITHOUT HEATING. I AM 71 AND NEARLY GOT PNEUMONIA. DO NOT EVER USE HIM.
