Literally the bombardment of phone calls i received within 5 minutes of requesting quotes. They weren't even quotes just people saying they can do the job. Defeated the purpose using this site. Nothing was filtered. I WILL NEVER USE THIS SITE AGAIN Show details
I hired Peter Chung through Service Seeking to build a shed and gate for a total contract price of $4,300. He immediately requested a $2,000 deposit. After delivering a small amount of material, he vanished and has since refused to answer any calls… Read more

This experience highlights a major failure in Service Seeking's platform. They claim to vet their tradespeople, but our experience shows they do not. There is no requirement for tradies to contribute to a dispute fund or provide any real security for customers. They simply list names and collect their fees, leaving customers to bear the full risk.
This is not an isolated incident for us. In the last four years using this platform, we have encountered numerous issues, including tradespeople who have stolen property from our home. Another installer refused to return to fix an 85-inch TV that fell down a week after installation; we were fortunate it wasn't destroyed. I urge everyone to be extremely cautious when hiring through Service Seeking.
Follow-up · it was and still heart breaking people like Peter Chung was allowed to scam us, despite being under investigation for similar crime, by the time we made complaints he was already removed from service seeking platform as a result we could not be helped by service seeking. service seeking did little or nothing to help except give his ABN number the… Read more

I’m honestly loving my Ozono! It’s been a game-changer in our home—especially if you’re sensitive to harsh chemicals or don’t like the idea of residues on your clothes, sheets, towels and skin. Another big win for me is reducing plastic waste—no more buying bottles or pouring chemicals down the drain. It just feels like a better choice all… Read more

And it doesn’t stop at laundry… I’ve started using it for mopping floors and as an all-purpose cleaner for the bathroom and kitchen. So cost-effective, and I feel good knowing it’s safe for our home, pets, and the environment and I am making another step to having a cleaner footprint on our environment that is overloaded with plastics and toxins.

Trying to get a cleaner specifically in my area and am getting dozens and dozens ai of messages from cleaners a long way a way who call and demanding I take their job and accept their quote. I need someone in my area who isn't going to charge me hundreds of dollars as they have to travel 50 kms for a job. It's too hard. Show details
Follow-up · I did look at one of the cleaners but the prices were too high after I sent them 5 emails with screenshots, lists of duties required and details of where I live. They refused to come when I was available and work to the hours I need (i.e. they said they wanted to work on a Sunday and refused to work any other day and wanted an additional Sunday… Read more

Dave came to check our dishwasher. Diagnosed the problem, which was minor. He was so helpful and so nice. Refused any payment because it was all good, despite taking the time to come over. Thank you so much. Would recommend Impressive Plumbing to anyone. Thank you. Cathy Travers Show details · 1

Though I received a number of enquiries for the work I listed, to stop the listing for my job, Service Seek needed me to download their app which I find completely unnecessary. I booked the job on their Web site so should be able to stop the ad for my job on their Web site and not to have to download their app. Show details

Huge waste of time. Clearly list task and date. Many quotes ignoring my price, contact me anyway, offer to do at double the price. Contacted by someone who Agreed on price. Exchanged date, address. Then says cannot do for 3 weeks, do sudden influx of other jobs. My impression is a bunch of time wasters. I only want to hear from someone who is interested with task at price and date. I can up it if no response. Would not use platform again. Show details

I advertised for concrete works through Service Seeking. I had Alex from Agr F/C contact me. He agreed to do the job and told me when he was going to commence the works! So, I went ahead and ordered the materials! But then he did not turn up a few times (as he promised!). He then made excuses as to why he didn't turn up. He also did not contact me… Read more
thereafter, so I kept ringing him and sending him text messages. But he was not answering my phone calls or returning my text messages. I find him totally unreliable and mis-leading! I would never engage him for any works!

I hired Zahid from Shine Quality Melbourne. I could not recommend him more highly. He is a master builder who can perform multiple tasks. He renewed our Merbau decking and the quality of his workmanship was fantastic. He is an excellent tradesman, efficient, reliable and professional Show details · 1
The best site for tradie hire. Have used other sites and found either NO response or too expensive. With ServiceSeeking I had an immediate response followed by 5 within a half hour . I stopped the response mid-afternoon had 8 quotes and hired a tradie that afternoon. I also had looked on the internet and contacted 3 tradies. 1 responded quickly, 1… Read more · 1
said he would drop in to quote and another didn't respond. I would still be looking to find someone if I hadn't come across ServiceSeeking.
The response was certainly quick but the initial message suggested I would receive a call shortly. I did receive two but the vast majority didn't and I was not able to see any quote if I clicked on their name. One potential contractor was quite irate that I had not responded to him! I eventually went with someone who texted me and called me directly. Show details

Huge thanks to Alex, we had never used this service before but within 24 hours Alex responded and came to quote the day after to render our out dated house. Within 2 weeks, our home is transformed with more wow factor than we imagined thanks to the knowledge, help and advice Alex provided, and finished to the highest standard. Highly recommended. Thanks Alex. Show details · 1
I fortunately found Service Seeking on my Google search. I had arranged a quote with a Concretor and decided a second quote would be smart. The contractor didn't arrive as planned, Service Seeking absolutely blitzed it I had 2 quotes within hours and a booking for a 3rd. I couldn't believe how efficient this service is. Show details · 3
The service is good and reliable. There’s just one thing I suggest. When moving mattresses make sure there’s cloth underneath and don’t drag it unless there’s cloth under it. If you have an assistant please lift up. So that it won’t get scratches and dirty. Show details · 1
