Absolutely appalling. Long story short the builder we found on the site refused to finish the work (because he was ‘not well enough’). He left with £20k of our money - we have a quantity surveyors report that arrived at that figure - and despite numerous discussions with trust a trader he is still on their website and to make matters worse he is a ‘featured trader’ Their mediation service is a joke; we sent them a 50pg quantity surveyor report detailing the work done and the balance paid and the amount that the builder should refund us. Their mediation consisted of sending him the report and then telling us he disagreed. End of story. We know this builder has done the same to another couple & mentioned that to trust a trader. We found human excrement in the garden after they had been working, they lost our door key and didn’t tell us for nearly a month. Trust a trader really don’t care. Honestly, the traders are their customers, not the consumers and it shows. They won’t let you leave a bad review before going through their joke of a mediation service either - so I can imagine a lot of people don’t bother, it’s all setup in favour of keeping the traders on there (and presumably collecting their fee).
