Brilliant Ray
We wanted our living room and kitchen to be painted quite urgently for a family function.
We found few Painting companies from Checkatrade
and we hired Ray Painters who did the job within 2 days.
Clean good job I think they used good quality paint which dried up quickly.
Ray painters removed 2 wall fixed racks in kitchen , and cleaned our granite floor .
in fact Ray came twice as we wanted them to remove paints on the floor.
We highly recommend anyone who needs quality painting work.

A wide range of trades who responded quickly
Easy to get an account set up and launch my project. A wide range of companies responded quickly. Quotes were provided and we appointed our preferred supplier - who were excellent. Didn't spend time worrying about whether the supplier would let us down.

We’re sorry to hear this was your experience. We know how frustrating it is when you’re trying to get work sorted and don’t get the level of communication or reliability you expected.
While we’re glad the three tradespeople you hired worked out well, it’s disappointing to hear others didn’t respond, dropped off, or weren’t suitable for the job. That’s not the experience we want people to have when using Checkatrade.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’ll make sure it’s passed on to the relevant team as we’re always looking at ways to improve how jobs are matched and managed on the platform.

I needed some general garden and building work/repairs. Received one reply and said, yes, please come round to quote. Next comment was a simple "?". No idea what that was meant to say, so repeated previous comment to please come round. Nothing. Personaly recommendations appears to be the only reliable source to get a decent tradesperson!
