“Signed up to Checkatrade a few years back. Doesn't work for our company anymore and very few leads coming through. Those that do come through are a waste of time. Tried to cancel and told our account has auto renewed so we have to stay signed up for a further 12 months. They have also put up their prices by £50 per month so we are being forced to pay the additional money. We have also tried to cancel the auto renew for next year and we also cannot do that but have to wait until it's due to renew and then cancel. Total crooks and a waste of hard earned money, stay clear and do not get caught in the trap!!! Will be advising every tradesperson I know to stay clear of these crooks.”

“Tried leaving review, but taken down. The have trade on there list that are cowboys... Used them to recommend a roofer troofer turned up to said needed scaffolding the cost would be £800 to replace soakers as these causing leak + Scaffolding £550... Scaffolding went up they came then found supposedly whole roof need re-felting, told then can't afford that so they said they can patch the area meter all round..@ £2000 So regrettably went ahead...supposedly they did works which they did BUT never replaced soakers ( have had to get an independent roofer to check and do works that should have been done)and low and behold rained 2 days later and leak worse then ever. Tried getting the original roofer to sort but his bully boys tactics of saying it needs complete re-felting at cost of 12k...but to work with him on the costs.. Never want this copy near my roof ever again. Did checkatrade ever check this trader out...I DONT THINK SO!”

When we rang to ask why they said ohh he signed up!!! We said but sure he’s not even a qualified tradesman or insured!! And WHERES the work he’s supposed to be getting for you? Their reply was oh we just need to vet him???? Ok then vet him as he doesn’t meet the requirements. We will be going viral with this”

“Worst company to book a tradesperson, they should be closed down”

“What kind of company only gives their tradesman signing up to join a 48 hour cooling off period. When trying to cancel all the company does is to threaten tradesmen that if they don't pay the full 12 monthly payments they will destroy their credit rating for defaulting. Do not sign up. I never used it as I was out of the country even though I tried to cancel within 14 days. Rude customer complaints personal.”

“Local Plumbers London Ltd. Gas wall heater installed and paid for 28/2/24 £621.11 . So stiff to turn on that we in our 80s could rarely achieve it, then only after many tries and lying or crouching on the floor to peer into the hole. The suppliers and makers also had to get down on the floor, with their strong young male fingers they could usually turn it on after a several tries. After many requests they eventually agreed to removing the heater and refunding us. They removed it but still MONTHS later 4/7/24 have not refunded despite many requests by us and promises by them.”

“Purchased an LG washer dryer from Spark World Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago. From day 1 it was excessively noisy. As it was not what to expect from a new machine attempted to get it changed but they were not agreeable and gave me no help at all. Found them extremely unhelpful and would not purchase anything from them again.”

“Northwest landscapes as they was when they initially made contact came and gave me a quote. They turned up and now they are called Ideal Landscapes and both are now not on Checkatrade. 5.5 days they worked and only got 7 panels in, wrecked the garden and have been nowhere near since 26.6.24. I won't be using Checkatrade again because if they remove themselves from here Checkatrade are no longer culpable. And I'm not able to download photos on here either”

“My review was taken down re a fencer (I cannot name obviously ) who had been very abusive and intimidating to me (a woman) because I was at work When he finished and he wanted paying before he left - and before I’d seen the job. I won’t go into the job but enough to say he threatened to sue them - checkatrade - for libel although I did have the lined evidence on what’s app . I gave up in the end as they made me jump through so Many Hoops . Interestingly trust pilot do that also. Wrote a review were a large store on kings Road and a man in the woman’s changing room. Taken down as no evidence.”

“We used a company via checkatrade called Andy Parr. He operates a painting and decorating company in Bridgwater. The work completed was excellent and we are delighted with the result. The inside of our house was painted and Darren the painter was efficient and hard working. We would certainly recommend them.”

“Using Anglian who's salesman used pressure selling tactics, is should be £22000 but with friends & family discount £7500 , outlawed many years ago, they have terrible reviews dating back year after year and checkatrader still have them on their site, this is supposed to be a site where folk can find reputable companies/traders, it's shocking, a disgrace it should be closed down. Folks ask your families or friends to recommend someone, it is much less risky than using these clowns.”

“I hired a roofer who miss-represented themselves as a family business with 20 years experience. However they sent a sub-contractor who had never done roofing before and botched all the work. They sent another person out but again, an unqualified sub-contractor and the work was botched, incomplete and broke a lot of tiles on my roof and used damaged materials instead of buying new. They failed to come back and remedy the work despite multiple assurances they would do so, and have not shown up. I found out the men who did the original work are no longer being used due to poor craftmanship- why was I sent people who could not do the job? When I go on checkatrade I expect the trader to be qualified and experienced, not some random bloke that feels like 'having a go' at the job. I've contacted checkatrade repeatedly regarding this matter a number of times over phone and email, emails have gone ignored. Last week I was promised a callback from the leadership team but never got one. It was very difficult to get through on the phone. I eventually spoke to somebody called Ryan who made lots of assurances and told me to file a guarantee claim and promised to send the info in an email but I am still waiting for that info to materialise. Still no callback from the leadership team and despite more empty promises to come back early this week the trader has still not come back to rectify the work, and no way to file a claim. I was also told the traders account manager was going to be contacted, no idea if that happened or not though. I am really upset and it seems I have no choice but to seek legal advice regarding checkatrade and the rogue trader they have allowed on their site. I am out £5,000 and the remedial work has been quoted at around £8,000- so will be out £13k... no small sum of money. And the rogue trader is still operating on the site with no attempt to remove them despite now being told they are just hiring inexperienced sub-contractors and are not real roofers as advertised. I have tried emailing the ceo address to escalate this matter but it appears he no longer works there and gives a bounce back email with no alternative contact.”

“Signed up as a trader and realised I didn’t need Checkatrade. Complete lies when trying to cancel. I was told my account auto renewed as if I was there for a year. Spoke to so many crooked people trying to entice me to stay by telling me I can’t cancel when I’m not even 24 hours in from my initial sign up. Terrible.”

“I needed an emergency locksmith so was unable to get a quote first. My back door would not lock. it took the man 4 hours to complete.My final bill was over £400 which I felt was excessive. I understand it is covered with free insurance for a year from now.”
