I have paid a year's membership and have received not one bloody lead.
A complete waste of money I feel like I have been totally scammed.
I paid £620 for nothing, even one single job, they don’t give me Disgusting customer service disgusting company
Absolute shambles of a company, tricked me into signing up after promising great things, then telling me we’ve set you up on the wrong platform and you need to pay another £300, I had 2 different people from there office, slating each other.. very unprofessional, refusing to give me a refund, even though I haven’t signed an agreement! AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!
It’s a scam,they make you pay for a year subscription upfront and don’t provide any leads and if you don’t let them know with 60 days before the automatic renewal they will tax you again for another year !!!
Any complaints that you have and you call the costumer service will be ignored
Just joined today no leads for any work I’m trying to cancel my credit card payment avoid
Its a scam, do not give them your money, if you already did call your bank to get your money, please report a scam website at https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/section/about-this-website/report-scam-website
This company will take your money and you won’t receive any work they send leads through and they are fully quoted when you get them so you carnt apply then you ring to complain and 10 days later they call you back to say they will sort it out but trust me they don’t someone is getting very rich off this scam I carnt stress enough AVOID
I had the same experience riped off for £490 and no leads etc etc
Thought this is genuine because they were quoting Wolseley & wren etc. paid £540. Didn’t receive any leads at all for a week now. It looks like they put some dummy leads for attracting me.
Reminds me of the Wolf of Wall Street movie، I paid £900 for pro membership four days ago, book a builder created a profile for me with the wrong phone number no matter how many times I spoke to them to correct the phone number to no avail, before I paid them They told me that we provide you with unlimited jobs, but now there is not a single job in the Book A Builder application, they only advertise, don't be deceived, all their words are lies.
Scam! Just a scam! I wish I have seen this before!
Excellent service
Highly recommend
We have been with book a builder for 2 months now and not had a single lead at all will let the weather warm up a little to see if there is any change as this time of year is not to great for my sort of work.
Be careful with this company if you got time cancel they are crooks!!! This is my opinion they don’t give me n work for a year and the staff of them are very convincente to take your money.
paid £700 for year worth of leads & not 1 job come in, customer services are massive waste of time, no help whatsoever, please stay well away from this company
Stay well of this company who removes my and other negative reviews. Charged ridiculous one year subscription despite supposed to charge for a month withou providing any service
Don’t waste your time and money
They want nearly £1K because I didn't gave 60days notice i didn't want to renew, i cancelled the card i made the original payment tho
so this can be treated as a tip to resign. You have to give them 60 days notice if you want to cancel. Hehe, I just don't understand why, but maybe one of you should try it
Not worth is completely ..........,.........weist money
How I can cancel renewal with them. I cancelled in last year but this one still want renewal and don’t see no this what sign before
Did you try to reach customer service/ customer care? You should start always there, they should help you with cancellation
Complete waste of money, I have just called them today after receiving an email of automatic renewal, can I get out of this legally.
Thanks.
I can't guarantee this 100% but there is always the option to opt out, blocking this option is simply illegal. Have you managed to quit?
Completely appealing, we were not allowed to cancel subscription last year when we received notification about automatic renewal. Customer service consultants are extremely rude and tell you they are too busy to talk to you and can't be bothered to pay attention to what you have to say!!! Total waste of money, they sent a notification about automatic renewal of subscription again today despite of me asking to freeze the account and remove automatic renewal on account last year. We have just called and the consultant was extremely unhelpful and informed me that he was too busy to send confirmation of our request of not renewing subscription! I will get legal advice and take legal action against this company.
They send a notification of automatic renewal of the subscription with no option to opt out!!!
When you phone them upon receiving the notification, they ignore you and charge you for another year. We have been trying to opt out for 2 years. The subscription is very expensive and does not provide any value for tradesman.
For carpenter jobs they list job request for customers asking to install one shelf (DIY type of requests) total scam!
This may not be the best solution, but it would be worth contacting a lawyer who will just contact the company. There is no possibility that you cannot opt out from something, there may be an additional fee, etc., but you cannot force someone to stay. Maybe if a lawyer called, they would provide an appropriate solution. I'm surprised you're paying for a service you don't want for two years
I am in the process of issuing legal proceedings against them for mis selling themselves
Are you sure that accusation of mis selling is the best here? I have doubts, because they can always say that there is little demand and that's why there are no offers or you are not chosen by those interested... but that's just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong
I signed up thinking this would be perfect for getting work(plumber). Turns out it’s the biggest scam and I fell for it. Took £500 and then an extra £600 with out me knowing. Reported with bank and got money back…. Avoid like the plague
It would be great if you could write how they collected this extra money themselves to warn people, and another thing is whether there were any job posts there or nothing?
Scam!!! They take your money but no jobs available!!
Scam!!!
Scam!!! They take your money but no jobs available!!
Scam!!!
*** NO option to opt out from subscription, it's been 2 years we haven't been able to opt out!!!!!!***
From what I see, you pay not only to see job offers, but also to be in their database of companies. Then someone who needs a worker can find you more easily (or not hehe). Am I right?
Book a Builder is a scam organisation. They say that the service is free. When you sign up you receive a phone call saying that if you pay a fee of anything from £500 to £1500 you will have a personal manager who will direct the kind of work you want and a all singing all dancing service. What you get is nothing. You find out you have signed up to a on line directory that is as much use bent two (deleted by the administrator) bit. When you try and ask for your money back there is a disclaimer saying that they will not honour any agreement that has been made by one of their sales team. My legal team is looking into the legality of this statement with the result of a possible prosecution.
So watch out for the My Builder scam
If you check this company and PALACE MEDIA LIMITED, owned by the same person, with the company house uk, you'll be shocked.
Very pleased with quality, value for money and speed of work.
Replaced my garage roof, gutter and facials. Team was polite and efficient.
Happy to recommend to anyone.
Trademan/builders reviews
Is there something wrong with them? Or you just want tradesmen and builders to leave reviews under your comment?
amazing service won a job already and only signed up yesterday
Very happy with Book a Builder's services- and have been for several years
Do you use their service regularly? How about the people working there? Are they nice?
It’s the worst site for a he trades people
Don’t waste your money
They have robbed £800 off me
Disgusting
Robbed? what exactly happened?
They took his money but never followed through with what they offered
It's always sad to see things like that happen, especially in 2023 when everyone can leave comments everywhere. Did you think about reporting that somewhere?
Worst site ever. Please never use book a builder
Scammers,charge money upfront for nonexistent jobs,and when you complain about it they ask for more money.
