“They owe me nearly £300. They promised me a discount which they could not authorise and then told me I needed to pay for a DBS as someone with the same name as me went to prison recently. but they proceeded to say its something they promise their customers which was very well hidden and an additional cost to me. As it took nearly two weeks to get me signed up as a tradesman, and much more headache, the offered me May free to which then they charged me for. To make matters worse, they charged me twice for the same area. it has been over two weeks and I have still not received any money back to which they said once it had cleared into their bank, I would receive my refund. It does not take over two weeks to clear from my bank. All I get on the phone is 'we understand and we will chase it up asap.' and no one gets back to me. I'm spending more time on the phone trying to chase it up myself when I'm trying to earn a wage on jobs. I would completely avoid if you do not want to be scammed and fobbed off.”

“Absolute farce. Tradesman was not properly insured, created damage to my property, accepted liability at first but then backed out and refused. Because the tradesman was appointed by my neighbour (damage to my property was caused while work was executed on neighbouring property) Checkatrade would not accept a complaint from me despite clear evidence of how, when and by whom the damage was caused. Checkatrade simply wanted to sweep the matter under the carpet. All communications with their customer service was a waste of time - cookie cutter 'not our fault / cant help' responses. Will never use or recommend.”

“I rang the numbers given, for all four of the electricians featured in Checkatrade Cambridge North. The automated response stated 'this company is no longer featured in our list', for three out of four companies! They are quite clearly on their list. I live in a flat where the post box often contains this absolute waste of paper, from Checkatrade.”

“Contacted Milestone tree and gardening care. Swift response and came out to do a job the following day. Did some excellent work on two large flowerbeds infested with ivy and power jetted paths and patios dangerously slippery with moss after so much rain . Very impressed and would use again. Highly recommended.”

“Got a painter and decorator from chrckatrade. Job wasn't up to standard and was pushy for the rest of the money before the job even finished when I already paid them more than half at the beginning of the job. Checkatrade sort yourselves out.”

“Checkatrade starts to become kind of a scam for traders You get promised a load of jobs monthly but ending up with no jobs at all The funny thing is checkatrade keep advertising to get more traders in even though there isn’t enough jobs , I think they are happy to scam traders for couple of months then they get frustrated and leave But they are of course still happy with that. If you want to start with them just make sure they provide you with the promised work load otherwise don’t bother with them , get jobs somewhere else , GOD’s Land is very huge and your income is in his hand not theirs good luck”

“DTS Plumbing and heating Services. After many years of using this company I have just been told that it is a £3 charge to get a written report regarding the faults that were found with. my gas fire. We need this in writing in order to claim on the guarantee. After already charging £170 for servicing the boiler and gas fire I feel that this is excessive and discriminatory against people who do not do wish to use technology .”

“The founder of checkatrade made a very reputable company. In recent years he sold his company to Homeserve since then they have made many changes non of which have been better for the customer or tradesman. I would recommend any customers when on checkatrade looking for a trader to no let them send three specialist traders. Go through the pages of traders read the reviews and contact them directly ,this ensures you choose the best traders yourself, also they would be local to you and you won't be waiting for a phone call that doesn't come. I'm an engineer registered on checkatrade and this is what I have become aware of over my 10 years of being a member.”

“FULL of TIME WASTING PREDATORY ‘COMPANIES’. I’ve tried to use them a few times to source quotes for different jobs, incl. boiler service, sash windows repair etc. Every single time I was contacted immediately by predatory contractors with quotes 5x higher than market rates who would not stop, calling, texting and emailing. Never got a serious offer through checks trade and always found good reasonably priced services elsewhere.”

“terrible organisation, cheating trade people on big money as you have to pay your every months contribution.My friend was a trader used this company for customers he was accused of wrong doing for work he has never done.As a result he got depression and tried to kill himself becuase of this. They put him on hold for new customers and did their investigation for over 6 months he went bankrupt in the meantime.After their investigation they told him to refund customer who was lying for work he has never done.He had to refund money they ivestigate hom for 6 months and never got any more offers from them but he had to pay installments for membership.”
