As a registered tradesman i need to put my new card details in

I have lined my walls as they are not the best, I always paste the walls as well as the paper before hanging it, so do I paste the lining paper before I hang my wallpaper on top, or will it go soggy making it hard to hang my paper on top

Hi. My name is Cosmin. How can i upload some photos of my works in order to improve my account. Thank you.

How do I find the rating of a tradesman on the site?

Why am i not receiving live leads to my e mail address .Let me know please.

Good Afternoon, I am working with Havas Media Ireland and am inquiring about possible advertising opportunities on your site and whether it would be possible to do so? We are working with a client here and would be interested in using your site for advertising purposes that would mainly be targeted toward painter/decorators to use their products when carrying out their job on various houses and buildings etc. If someone could get in touch with myself ([email protected]) when you have a chance that would be much appreciated. Thanks a million, Sarah

Hi, I had a job accepted and agreed though your web service and the painter did a very bad job, due to me not being around that day I left the money and the painter has been paid. He will not refund even though he agrees it was not good work. We need to get someone else in to re-do. what would you suggest?

Where on your website can I see reviews left for certain tradesman.

I have already rated my decorator twice for Checkatrade (which now seems to be called 'rated people') using the standard written Checkatrade form; he has now done another job for me which he has asked me to report to you on his performance, and we thought I could do it online but I can't find an online assessment form to use - is there one?

I am having problems to post a review for work done

The cost of stripping old paper of front room walls and ceiling painting the kitchen and painting bathroom no paper to take off kitchen or bathroom walls also to paint stair landing

I had a decorator paint my outside wall, paid him £100, I have receipt, the paint has all washed off due to rain. I have contacted the painter 3 times to return, he has not done so as yet.

At the moment, I have completed a job through Rated People and the customer is happy. I have been requesting a rating from this customer for about a week now. But she wouldn’t reply my emails nor reply my text. Neither would she give me a rating. So what do I do in this case.

1. I am a newly registered tradesman with rated people. So I have zero ratings at the moment. I bought a lead at a time and get in touch with the owners of the lead immediately by email and phone call/text. But each time, the owner would say the job is been given to another person or will not reply or it will be impossible to contact the job owner. Because I am in need of a job to do, I would look for another lead and buy as soon as I get a negative reply from the last lead. I have a build-up of lead credit request due to the fact that I could not make requests for lead credit at the initial stage because I have no rating and because I do not have a profile picture. I was able to request for lead credit about 4 days ago (which was after I loaded my profile picture). But I had 4 lead credit request declined and 4 approved out of 8 lead credit requested on same day. The reason Rated People gave for rejecting my lead credit request is quoted below, “You are receiving this email because the number of leads you have requested credit for exceeds what we assess is normal for your trade and area”. How do I contact Rated People to justify myself in these cases. Because most of these leads owner say they had given the job to another tradesman even though the lead shows I am the only tradesman that bought the lead. Or that the job is being delayed even though the job timing was urgent on the description.

What happens if no one gives a quotation? Is my upgrade refunded?
