Most people who live in London love the place and wouldn't dream of moving anywhere else. Where else could you go to once you are used to having access to some of the world's best theatres, restaurants, art galleries, bars and museums?

However, there are certain things about the place which a lot of residents never come to terms with. The long distances covered in getting to work. Those endless and inexplicable Underground delays. The price of housing being so high that it would be laughable if it would weren't so serious. The traffic problems. I could go on a bit more but you know most of them already.

When it comes to finding tradesmen in London you can come across one of the other things which make London so peculiar. In most towns or cities the task of finding a local builder, plumber or painter starts by asking by friends or neighbours for a recommendation. The thing about London, though, is that it can be very difficult to get to know your neighbours well enough to chat about such things. And even if you strike up a good conversation with them it is quite possible that they have recently moved to London ...
... and are in exactly the same boat as you.

In these circumstances you could look up the local phone book or trade directories. You may spend a bit of time trying to get through to someone helpful, and then trying to explain what you want. You also take the risk of contracting a builder who has been chosen more or less at random, without any personal recommendation or real knowledge of their track record. At times like this London can seem an awfully big and intimidating place

This is where the power of the internet can come to your rescue. You can new look up a site which has been specifically designed to help you find a London builder and review the prices, trade credentials and work history of possible candidates. As well as you giving you this information you can also see who the rated builders are, those recommended tradesmen whose previous customers have left a comment and a rating following the work done by them.

Once you find a London builder who meets your needs and budget and you hire them to do the job you should remember to add your own comments onto their profile, to help out people just like who find themselves looking for a personally recommended tradesman.
