At tadpoll we collect information about tradespeople, including comments and ratings by their customers. Potential new customers can then search our site for a particular trader, read the comments and ratings, and this will help them choose the right tradesperson.

You can use tadpoll as a personal reference site. It won’t cost you anything so you have nothing to lose. All you need to do is encourage your satisfied customers to add a comment about you on tadpoll. You can then refer to the tadpoll site when quoting for new business, and hopefully potential customers will see that others have been satisfied with your service and will be more likely to give you the work.

We are entirely independent, so you can assure your customers that you have no way to influence what is on the site. We will never take money from you, the tradesperson, because we think that will compromise our integrity.

The comments and ratings on the site are not ours: we simply allow real customers to publish on the site. What we will do is reject comments that we think are malicious, offensive, or that serve no useful purpose. We won’t allow people to use the site in an unhelpful way.

When someone adds a rating about you, we’ll send you an email so you have an opportunity to review the comment and if you think it is incorrect or unfair let us know.

We hope you will try tadpoll and tell your customers about us. Thanks for taking the time to look at our site, and we hope you'll be registered with us as a trader soon.
