“Checkatrade gave us three months free trial and then invoiced us after 3 weeks, when queried we were told there is no free trial, not one single enquiry from these shysters and £114.99 to cancel the free membership - avoid like the plague - when they said you have no reviews listed, we said how can we get reviews when you don't provide any leads - they said take some from other places and put them up on your profile page - what a bunch of conmen”

“Great when you first sign up!! (Shock...) nothing but leads in the 1st few months and then suddenly hardly anything. When I called to complain I had no calls through they say we can see you’ve been contacted twice this week when I blatantly haven’t absolute rubbish and I find myself on page 4 of local listings even though have a score of 9.8!”

“DO NOT SIGN UP!! Checkatrade have brought in a new algorithm that put me on the 5th page on my own postcode so my next-door neighbour would be given details of a plumber 30 miles away. Used to be worth it but not anymore they have got greedy and want to spread the leads to thin to gain more monthly subscriptions.”

“Was a member of Checkatrade for years, It worked for first 4-5 years, but now it doesn’t, they treat there old members like rubbish. it’s a company that has got worse year after year. I decided to leave this month, as they now have brought in a system where you spend 5 days out of 7 on like page 20 in your area even with up to date reviews and good ratings etc. I would of recommend them to anyone a few years back but now I would advise avoid at all costs.”

“Terrible company, do not sing up with them you will not get any calls or leads only time wasters and cold callers. They want a huge fee if you for nothing and you will not have your number or your email address in their page. They will provide you with their fake details so when you leave you have paid for advertising Cat not your company!! Terrible”

“Another 2 weeks of receiving only 1 checkatrade call from customers after checkatrade changed their website to the new algorithms system just want to let other tradesmen know that if they are thinking of joining checkatrade DON'T it's the worst it's ever been ive been a member for 5 years it was great to start with but for about £1800 pounds a year to just be seen in your local area 2 days a week it's not worth it avoid at all costs”

“There is pay 30 days notice and extra payment of £83.99 when you are not longer the member just because you leaving? What's a scam! Not recommending at all !!! Don't go with them even for the free months (trial) offer as you will have to pay anyway.”
