Myjobquote website

Does anyone have any experience of using the myjobquote.co.uk website. I have posted a job on it but it seems that i just get a random text message from someone saying that they can do the work. My worry is that there is no information about this person or reviews  or previous experience comments about this person when i log in.  Am i just meant to agree on the basis of a text saying that he can do it ? Am i using the website wrongly ? It just doesnt seem very helpful to me

sorry i have just found the email to log in  and see previous reviews. There is only one review  of this person from when he did a different type of work from what i am requesting. Do i take the risk ?? Ive had the job up for nearly a month now

Depends what sort of job and the consequences if it’s done wrong.  If it was hosing down my garden slabs then I might use them.  If it was building a conservatory then no.  Have you tried to find someone by asking on your local pages on Facebook?

How old is the property ?

If it is solid wall construction, you should avoid using a cement render (lime is best). And if you are covering more than 25% of the exterior, Building Regulations kick in - That may mean that you would have to fit wall insulation to meet minimum recommended thermal requirements.. Although, if this is just a patch & repair job, building regs won't apply.
