“I have had not even one good experience with the traders i used for paving. and they all had excellent reviews. i made an annonymous review because i was afraid of my safety, trying to make one official, but it's not worthy. You have 600 characters so not worthy it will just sound like a mad statement, not facts. i will never use checktrade again.”

“We used David Richards Property Refurbishments Specialists in May 2021 to replace and make waterproof our bathroom floor, remove and fit a new shower and tile around the shower area. Everyone was very hard working, honest, very considerate and trustworthy. The work carried out was to a high standard and a competitive price. I would totally recommend them to anybody!”

“Checkatrade are not to be trusted at all. They withheld my bad honest review for 12 days; only when I hounded the CEO with complaints did they put my review on, but they then hid it so that when you search for builders you cannot see my review and the overall rating is faked at 10/10. If you particularly search for this builder by company name and go into his actual advert only then is my review showing and the accurate overall score of 6/6, but you would never know this from the search function. The builder threatened me, damaged my property, broke my sink then covered new sink in paint splashes and hung kitchen cupboards in a very shoddy manner, with sides of cupboards extending beyond pelmet bar and different lengths of cupboards. CAB state the builder is guilty of Breach of Contract as he added spurious amounts to the invoice and charged for items not supplied and Checkatrade do not want to know. They ignored all emails from me and I was ignored when asked 4 times for their formal complains procedure. Only by emailing the CEO am I getting some responses but they are all unhelpful like charging me £15 for arbitration or £35 if I am claiming over £1000 in damages.”

“I have been with checkatrade a few years now at the beginning it was ok they make mutipul changes so it makes it harder for the enquiries to get to you ( almost like they control who gets what ) there is no support for the tradesmen. i was unevaluable to do a job told the customer i knew another electrician they used another company and left me a bad review, checkatrade said it would remain there as ii recommended them my monthly costs have gone from 75 a month to 360 a month and im now receiving less enquiries (less than half for triple the cost ) I would recommend not wasting your time and money they have gone south since home serve took them over.”

“They spam websites such as linkedin promoting jobs that dont exist. When our business joined checkatrade they basically promised to “manage” any negative reviews so only positive reviews would be seen Total scam”

“Brings in a decent amount of work, how ever it has the potential to ruin your business as checkatrade will post reviews from customers that are false and untrue. They don't look after you even though your paying there wages . If you want want your reputation put at risk then checkatrade is for you”

“Poor customer service. Provided concrete evidence towards a false statement/review a customer left with property manager also providing proof that there was no error from my side yet Checkatrade didn’t do anything about it. Had no calls or Enqueires in few months since that review so why pay nearly 90£ a month.”

“Wouldn't use any traders check a trade recommend again. Pressurised into paying invoice day work completed ask to pay into personal bank account on checking further company not listed in companies house. Seems they take anyone on who pays a fee. Work completed but with lots of snagging wouldn't want to complain to trader for fear of retribution.”

“The builder i used had 5 star reviews. He was a gypo. His work was apauling. He left a mess of building materials all over the outside of the house. It was left in a dangerous condition with sharp edges on the metal he cut. He actually put self levelling compount on a door step. He wanted half the money up front, bank transfered to a personal account not the business name. I dare not complain to him for fear of reprisals. I'll never trust check a trade again.”

“Would not rely on Checkatrade to actually check their trades. Also suspect many reviews of traders on checkatrade are fake. Multiple contractors don't respond when trying to contact for a quote on checkatrade. Ones that do are unprofessional, do not provide what they say they will provide, bully you into making payment before job is completed.”

“As I said in my previous post everything is great just a little note to checkatrade when customers ask for a call back alert that checkatrade send to me by email when I call the customer they don't answer the phone because they don't recognise the phone number as they expect it to be the same as the number listed on my checkatrade website which is different as its a secure contact number that checkatrade uses”

“Checkatrade is definitely working much better for me now I'm getting lots of calls every week went through a bad spell for 2 months when they changed to the new algorithms system but it seems to be working OK now I did leave a bad review when this happened so to be fair I'd recommend them for tradesmen again even though its expensive its worth it”

“After being a member for 7yrs and over 200 10/10 reviews I find myself so frustrated with how badly Checkatrade.com now treat their customers ( trades people ). I can not get through to customer service by telephone and my emails go unanswered yet they have the nerve to put a negative review against my business from someone I've never even spoke too , let alone carried out any work for. Since Checkatrade.com was purchased by homeserve they only care about lining their pockets and no longer work with their customers.”
