There's already too many of these sites so another one is just a laugh. Cannot trust them either., full of bogus reviews and cowboys.
Just go to your local council website and find their trusted tradesmen scheme and use that.

Tried it out for some prices - laughable for this area!

£66-£81 to fix a dripping tap!

More Pimlico Plumbers than Local Heroes. Going rate in this area between £15 and £30.

Knowing the standard of work they clearly allow some of their own tradespeople to get away with, I would treat their vetting of any third party with a fistful of salt.

If you need a local tradesperson (and you don't already know one you can trust), best to obtain a personal recomendation from a friends, family, neighbours, etc you can trust.
