Ratings are so important to us, we put them in our name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all ask family and friends for recommendations that we\ncan trust, but when it comes to finding tradespeople for important projects, why\ntake just one person\u2019s word?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ratings are word of mouth from over 1 million friends. Each one left for a tradesperson, helps a homeowner like you get a better understanding of whether they\u2019re the right person for a job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ratings you can trust<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our ratings system is special. Unlike other services, only homeowners who\u2019ve posted jobs through Rated People can rate tradespeople – so you know they\u2019re genuine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What makes up a rating?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can give tradespeople a score out of five, with five being the best. When you give a tradesperson and overall rating, we suggest to consider the quality of work, the value for money, and the reliability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also have the option to leave a review to go alongside your rating. That\u2019s your opportunity to explain your rating and go into more detail about your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to rate a tradesperson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
  1. Log in to your free account <\/a>or launch our Homes mobile app and select \u2018My jobs\u2019 to bring up the list of jobs you\u2019ve posted.<\/li>
  2. Select the job from the list and click the \u2018Add rating\u2019 button for the tradesperson who completed the work. <\/li>
  3. Select a rating, then write your review.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s as easy as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Take a minute to leave a rating when the work\u2019s done. It\u2019s\neasy to forget when you\u2019re happy, but tradespeople rely on ratings to make a\ngood first impression and help them line up more work. Each time a tradesperson\nis interested in a job, we send the homeowner a link to their profile page,\ncontaining their ratings and reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The more ratings we collect together, the more feedback\nyou\u2019ll have to help you decide who to hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
