Got a plumber in to fix a broken shower handle, they were excellent and charged a very reasonable rate for the work, including materials. Much better than ringing around on Google.

BEWARE!!! - ServiceSeeking.com.au.
My experience has been that this is not a reliable service to find your trades. They make a number of statements on their site about checks - but my experience is that whatever checks they have done did not prevent a fraudster ripping me off. In top of that - trying to actually speak to someone from the company - I have found almost impossible - let alone actually getting a return call.
We had a landscaper (sourced through service seeking) steal our money and after we couldn't contact him, service seeking took forever to reply to my requests for contact information. He didn't even hold a landscaping license. How could he possibly quote on a landscaping job without a landscaping license?
I would not recommend these people and I would not ever use their service again.
UPDATE!!
Finally I have received contact from Service Seeking.....unfortunately it is not good news! Service Seeking have admitted to me that the fraudster that ripped me off was already known to them - I understand that they knew he was a fraudster - they said they had his account previously shut down for ripping people off - and yet he still managed to be listed by them as one of the people they facilitated an introduction to on their website.
I am really disappointed with the lack of responsiveness and now having had the benefit of a response - the lack of care and responsibility that Service Seeking accept. They have even said that I could have been ripped off if I contacted someone through the yellow pages - of course silly me I thought service seeking did something more than provide a yellow pages listing - which is exactly why I used them. It is not clear to me what service Service Seeking are actually offering if it is not something additional by way of comfort that the person you are getting to do some work for you is legit.
My experience of Service Seeking's "service" is that it is terrible and it has left me out of patience and out of pocket.
I don't want anyone else to be fooled by their 'claims'.
I needed some quotes to have an air conditioner installed. I tried the usual methods of getting quotes and experienced the usual frustrations of not having my calls returned.
I then contacted ServiceSeeking with my request for quotes and within an hour I had six tradesmen contact me wanting to quote on my job! I cannot praise ServiceSeeking.com.au highly enough for finding me the quotes I needed so quickly and for saving me alot of time and frustration. There are no charges involved, try them, you won't regret it!

What a great way to find services you need. We received several quotes for the accounting work we needed done and have engaged one of the accountants we found through the website. Will definitely use again...great time saver!
What can I say. It is awesome just puting what services you need and within a few minutes getting replies. Not having to ring businesses one by one is definitely something I appreciate and is nice for a change. I got the business I wanted, and at the moment I am just waiting on quotes.
Thanks guys, great service. I would definitely recommend you!
I have not heard of this before, but I like the concept.
Awesome service. Like everyone else said, I put in my job details and had the first reply within 10 minutes. In all its been around 6 quotes (I lost count). I will definitely use this service again. I cannot honestly fault the service.
Approximate cost: $90/ fortnight
This is the best idea ever! I needed an electrician - I put in the job details and in 24 hours I had 8 quotes! All from light businesses. I picked the one I liked best and they came 2 days later. No ringing around, so easy! Love it and will definitely use the service seeking site again. And FYI I'm in Brisbane.

Easy to use. Quick responses from garden service providers. Professional. Overall, I will recommend the site to friends and family as I will certainly use it again it myself.
Approximate cost: $150
Reset and checked over my security system. Replaced battery checked all sensors, provided instruction, checked alarms. The service enabled me to compare quotes and services and the company that I chose did a great job.
Approximate cost: $100
Good quick service & quality service. Would recommend to others. Fast feedback from suppliers with detailed description of their services. Thanks again
