[QUOTE="binky, post: 393356, member: 490"] 'check a trade' do not post anything negative about the tradesmen on the site, so a company could have 50 good reviews and 50 awful ones, but only the good ones will be displayed. The site exists to extract money from tradesmen not for the benefit of the consumer. Now I'm sure there are plenty of decent trades people on there, but it isn't as guranteed as it looks. Plus I don't think they qualify the feedback, ie the reviews could well be written by the company concerned/ friends/family. If you want properly checked referrals on line you need to go to 'Which? Trusted Trader' or if you have one in the area 'Buy With Confidence' scheme run by trading standards. Apart from checking the businesses listed are fully qualified, they post the bad and good reviews, and qualify all reviews before posting them. [/QUOTE]
