Obv I used to at MyBuilder so I'll say them. They've since been bought by a bigger company HomeAdvisor so things may have changed but checkatrade, despite the adverts, is basically a wild west for reviews. They give physical forms to the tradesperson to get their customers to fill out and send in which is very...secure and they will remove any disputed feedback instantly. Trustatrader was just copying what we did at MyBuilder except worse.

do you have a local area fb group? it's a bit wheat/chaff, but I've had luck sourcing trades from recommendations i've found on there.
that, or if you've used any other trades you've got on with/had positive experiences with - could drop them a message and ask if they know anyone with X specialty.

Checkatrade vs Trust A Trader vs MyBuilder - any that are better than the other for some small damp repairs?
