I've been a member of Checkatrade for over 10 years it used to work well for my company until they let the rogue traders ion the site something the said they would never do , i used to spend over a £1000 a month with websites and leaflet drops but i refuse to be associated with National companies ripping people off ! the worse thing is as they are National they build up reviews much quicker so its taken me 10 years to get 1500 reviews because i can only get them local these companies already have taken over me within 1 year surely they should only be able to show the reviews in the area they cover i.e if someone put in a trade in Portsmouth there Portsmouth reviews should only show not reviews in Liverpool total joke really my spend now has come down from £1000 per month to £150 per month and even that i think now is too much real shame but i guess money talks ?
