Handyman/Repairman or Review website?

Schwade

Hi all,

I got a few things I need to fix at my flat:

1. kitchen tap is leaking water when I turn it on.
2. dishwasher doesn't work (I think it is the moisture in the controller).
3. shower head face has come off (I can still shower, just that I can't change how the water shoots out).

I was wondering if there is a website that compares handyman/repairmans so I can find a reliable, affordable and honest repairman?

If location is required, I live in London E14 Tower Hamlets area.

This is my first time finding a repair guy so any help much appreciated!

Thanks all!

When i done my window i used www.ratedpeople.com and found a really great company. Have heard some bad things about ratedpeople (read them in a post on these boards somewhere) but its mainly from the tradesmen not the customers (the tradespeople have to pay to be on the site)

CheckATrade seems to be reliable. There is another organisation a plumber mentioned but I can't remember the name, he thought it was better than CheckATrade, more thorough.

I have used ratedpeople too for a few odd jobs in the house and garden and been pleased with the service and price quoted for the job.
