Bark

[Matthew Easey]

What's everyone's thoughts on bark the lead company. Personally I have had nothing but trouble. 

[Steve Bullman]

What sort of trouble? 
 

these lead generation companies are very American, can’t see the point of them really. It’s an absolute race to the bottom

As above. Lowest of the low. Full of desperate tradesmen paying to be the the tenth contractor to bid for a job for a customer who wants everything for nothing. If the job even exists.

 

I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. You'll get far better return from flyering a the street when doing a job in a good neighbourhood.

I did some work through it when it was newer, and I was less established. 

 

Since then the cost has gone up a lot, and number of other people bidding gone up. You need to be quick and cheap to get anything - people using it are just looking for something cheap, trade reputation means nothing else they'd be asking everyone they know if they've had tree work done.

 

I don't use it at all any more - suggest to avoid.

In Ireland it’s flooded with travellers, we all know outcome of that!
