Rated people Charging short listed tradesman

Posted by Sam Kabbani, on
A shortlisted tradesman responded to one of my job listings and visited the site to view the job before giving a quote. Then he charged £95 for his visit. He claimed that he is charged £20 by Rated People for each job he responds to. Do you charge the shortlisted tradesman even if he is not given the job?

Tradespeople have to purchase a lead to get the opportunity to quote for the work however I personally never charge to carry out a quote and I feel that it should have been made clear to you by this tradesperson before hand if they intended to do so
