Why do i have to come up with my own quote as i have no idea how much the job will be? By making it essential to answer i could be pricing myself out of getting quotes or opening myself up to being overcharged......surely I should post a job, and then get quotes back where I choose the best one?

Dont charge us twice, We have already paid you for job leads so why should we pay again for customer contact details, It should still be left up to the job poster to decide to keep it fair. Why should we pay again for contact details when i think we should get them anyway?

Dont let companies that don't appear to be suitably qualified quote on jobs that require it
ie. Gas Safe registered.
Have noticed a few companies that dont display any gas safe registration quoting on jobs that obviously need it!

I created a job. Someone responded with a partial quote but needed more information to provide a full quote. I added a note but the guy obvioulsy can't see this as he had to requote asking me again for the information. I suggest you set up a kind of list instant messaging-style convesation box so that we can have a dialogue.

Alternative make it easier to just add further information.

- Don't want to buy customer details and find no useful information save for a dodgy email address or mobile number that does not work.

Simply posting images of plumbing work or a boiler or work area can give better idea on work to be done. This is a great way to cutout the bad workmanship that is engulfing UK. Good Job

no uk iphone app, would be very handy to have one

- Pay membership fees each month and not in a lump sum (3, 6, 12, 24 month packages)

I suggest that you allow us more than one sentence to describe a job done above and beyond the specification in more than one sentence!

Use facebook to promote this site. I will recommend this site to all my facebook friends.

take card details from job posters and if they dont take a quote through the site then charge them as its a waste of traders time.

Providing the tradesman with notification that a job poster has read the message or quote that has been sent to them.
for example a simple note at the bottom of the original quote saying either 'this message has been read' or this message is unread'

When a job poster sends an email to a tradesman through the site..

- give them a confirmation ("your email has been sent")
or
- send them a copy of the email.

Otherwise, we can't be sure that it's been sent.

More advertising in South East Kent areas as most leads seem to be london or furthe

There is no audit trail or messaging area where I can keep control of my correspondence.

It would be useful to have a tab beside a job post or customer that shows the various communications between the parties.

Had to cancel a job for good reason. No way of letting tradesman know this rather than a blunt cancellation

Huge issue! When searching for tradesmen or job (or anything) for a specific area, i just get results from all over the country....the sort function does not work....

Instead of having to wait for myhammer to take the fees (which means you may have your account restricted if you are unable to pay when myhammer choose to take the money). You should be able to pay them instantly on the website.
