DO NOT DOWNLOAD

I was looking for house cleaning services. Downloaded the app, entered all my information, including the phone number, and after the app asked me to verify my account by entering the code they allegedly have sent to me. But the code has never arrived.

I neither could not access the app, nor change my request. But the phone calls and text messages from service providers started flooding my phone and I could not stop it.

AVOID!

Limited

After a “professional” was hired, it was impossible to find them again, or leave a negative review. Very poor experience and a difficult/pointless to navigate website.

Great company

Brilliantly organised

At your disposal, House clearance.

If you want a job done professionally these two lads are what you need, nothing is a problem for them, polite easy going and cleaned up after everything was taken out.

Kevin was an amazing performer , he was exactly what we wanted for our Diamond Wedding at Tyneside Golf Club .

Cannot recommend him enough . He made our day special.

Can't post simple jobs

They get automatically removed, their system is completely rubbish.
This was the ad I was trying to post:
2 small jobs:
1- tap screw doesn't open, stuck, need to change the rubber, I have the material.
2- toilet flush pressure to be increased.

DJ Brooklyn Mic

DJ Brooklyn Mic was an amazing disc jockey for our daughter’s wedding! We provided him a song list, knowing our guests wouldn’t really be dancing, but rather enjoying background music, and Mic did not disappoint! He played exactly the music we were looking for, and our guests absolutely loved it. I received many compliments on the music, and on Mic’s professionalism and ease with the music. Would highly recommend, and hire again and again. Thank you DJ Brooklyn Mic!!

Laidlaw Roofing

Kevin Laidlaw from the above named Livingston firm did a first class job today clearing moss from my roof and cleaning out the gutters. He was punctual, hardworking and undertook the task in àn efficient and professional manner. The price quoted was competitive ànd I will certainly utilise Kevin’s services again, in addition to recommending him to other potential customers.

DATA FARM APP - will not allow delete

Tricked into downloading, they got you now. Clicked on website and it asked for information to contact for quotes then set up an account without asking and you cannot delete it without engaging their app and giving them more information. As many predatory apps are constructed …easy in. NO WAY OUT. SCAM

Kev wilson - Let’s be Frank!!

Absolutely fantastic entertainer!! Booked for a Tiki themed 60th birthday party. Kev was highly professional from start to finish. He entertained a crowd of over 100 guests in my garden, with a huge audience participation and had all the ladies up dancing. Fist set of swing hits as requested then a mixed bag which had everyone singing along.
Thank you so much Kev, you helped make memories for all our family to enjoy for years. Can not recommend highly enough ❤️❤️

HBB Property Services

Martin contacted me after I put a request up. He arrived exactly on time to have a look at what needed doing. I was pleasantly surprised that he doesn’t charge to come out and give a quote. We agreed on a price, he went off to get the bits required and came back and finished the job. He left the place clean and tidy and I would have no hesitation in using his services again.

Useless

App won’t even load when I try and open it.

UPDATE: developer suggested I reinstall the app and get the latest version. I reinstalled the app. Still doesn’t work. If I could give fewer than one star I would.

Scammers

I’ve been scammed by one of the contractors from Bark. The company only did half of my gutters,but charged me full price. I received a call that I need urgent work carried out on my roof, they were supposed to come and do it the next day, they did come, take the payment, and left without doing anything. This was confirmed by another profesional when I had suspicions about the business and the time they spent cleaning the gutters. When I reported this to Bark, they stated they can not help as it was a cash payment, they didn’t investigate and accepted that contractors are scamming customers, they haven’t removed the contractor from the website to prevent this from happening to others .They received evidence of this including CCTV. I am £750 out of pocket, with no work to show for this. The company has also now blocked my phone number, after asking for invoices and receipts for the work they supposedly carried out. I can not imagine that in these days, websites such as Bark would allow this scam to happen, I can only imagine how many people this has happened to who are unable to check if the work has been done. I work hard to provide for my family, not to have a large chunk of money taken for a scam.
