DundeeDancer Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I’m on the lookout for a trades person than can properly install a single room Heat Recovery Vent into a 2nd floor flat. I put details about how the job is around 7.5m off the ground in this thread:- I thinking on using one of the “Trust a trader” type sites from the following list but unsure what one to try first:- www.trustatrader.com www.mybuilder.com www.ratedpeople.com www.myjobquote.co.uk I did try and go with a recommendation but the person said they would come the next week to check the job out and then never returned any of my texts after that. Any tips or recommendation appreciated. Thanks, DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 We discussed this a while back and the consensus was none of them were any good as almost without exception they bock bad reviews. As an electrician all my work comes from recommendations form satisfied customers, and many tell me they just ask n the likes of Facebook etc for a recommendation and my name often comes up. So if you "do" social media, try asking there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do exactly as Dave says I ask on fb - someone always knows someone ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redoctober Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 You might wish to look at "Local Heroes" aligned to British Gas- I have used them twice recently for separate jobs - electrician and Plumber - Very good service. PW. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
