The great GREAT 'how to find a decent tradesman' hunt continues!

We've started using PropertyHeads to find tradesmen. It's great because you can actually see the tradesmen reviewed by people you know. So no more worrying about fake reviews. Also I understand it's free for tradesmen which means they won't get upset about you getting more than one quote for your job. Booked a tiler that had been reviewed by one of our neighbours - very happy with the work done.

Reported as spam as all of your posts promote the same company.

I have a list of various tradesmen that I have used for 30+ years on sites all over the country and France but after offering the numbers to a few I've decided to refuse in future. As I try to keep my costs down on sites,my own and clients, I do as much of the basics and donkey work myself. If customers did think ahead and did some preparation work,ie, clearing floors,moving furniture,covering up units that can't be moved
etc, I'm sure they'd have a bit more joy getting the jobs done.Back in my carpet fitting days I remember going to fit a lounge out and found the young couple watching TV and drinking and they advised that they hadn't cleared anything as they didn't know which end I would start!!!
