“worst website ever. the reviews are suspicious! we just got scammed by one roofer who has excellent 5 star reviews on the website and the scammer deleted their page straight away afterwards. When we go to the website ask about it, the website asked us why we didn't give a bad review! Yes, we would if they bring the scammer's page back! Apparently, what happened to us isn't an unusual case according to others' experience. This kind of website should be down. They reported my reviews on another website as fake, which was not true and after showing proof it was reinstated. So Checkatrade is abusing that fake review mechanism. 1st April, over 4 months later: After sending all the photos and proof to Checkatrade to claim under their guarantee, more than once, they still have not accepted any claim or paid any money under the guarantee. I will never use Checkatrade ever again and I will advise everyone I know never to trust their assurances or guarantee, it has proved to be a giant mistake.”

“Recently my sister advised me to get a hand rail fitted in the bath, which is also the shower. The plumber who I have used, through Checkatrade, since my husband died came to the rescue, once again. He was efficient and cheerful and came round without delay, armed with the shower arm and the necessary tools to do the job. It is now installed to my satisfaction, in the right location, so that I can now get into and out of the bath without any problems or risk of falling. 29/03/2024”

“I asked Oven Rescue Canterbury to clean my oven. The operator arrived in a timely fashion, was extremely polite and professional. He cleaned up after he had completed the clean and was very thorough. I was beyond pleased with the results he had achieved and not only would I use that company again, I would highly recommend them.”

“Asking for personal documents numerous times. Different people ringing me twice/three times a day asking to send more personal documents over the phone. Said I was going live next day all has gone through, then get another phone saying I need to give them the same documents again. Tried to cancel, customer service was shocking basically telling no. Even though it’s not even been 14 days for a cooling off period. Shocking! Would never use them”

“I went on board with checkatrade thinking this was going to help grow my business, Never had any customers from this, kept calling checkatrade to see if everything was ok. Decide to cancel as I wasn’t getting anything from it. They persisted to tell me that I had lost of customers calling my number when I told them they hadn’t they said they would look into it. About a month later still no customers then I get a letter from solicitors wanted payment of just shy of £1000 for a service I never received. Avoid avoid this company”

“Absolutely useless. I used this company as if anything goes wrong, they can help you. Well that is a load of rubbish. Have emailed 3 times in 12 days and not one response. Will never use checkatrade again; it's pointless”

“Absolutely awful for tradespeople. No care or recognition for the people that actually keep this business afloat. Emailed to cancel my membership as was 3 months after the expiry of my original 12 month agreement to be told it had been automatically renewed for a further 12 months. Was told I was in contract still and I would be expected to make payments or clear my entire balance. Staff are clearly trained to read off a script that contracts are business to business based and not business to consumer which is an awful practice against sole traders. As a tradesperson you have absolutely no leg to stand on with them and they simply bully and threaten with legal letters from their solicitors. You cannot even argue the fact that you may not get any work form it and that it isn't fit for purpose, they simply turn around and say "that's your fault, nothing we've done". I was told multiple times by the membership team today "there is nothing we can do regarding your membership and you will have to continue to pay it". I am telling all of my customers to never support companies such as Checkatrade with enquiries and will never use them again across any of my businesses.”

“Absolutely RUBBISH service provider! If I could rate them 0 I would! They will chase you for a money like a clock! They will advance against you in every situation without investigation! After you sign a contract with them, all they care is just to make sure your payment up to date! I needed to change my business address, It took 1month for them to action! Also i have several other inquiries, but was ignored and no one bothered to resolve, so i cancelled my direct debit. I was flooded with emails and calls next day, asking me to restore a payment but because my requests hasn’t been addressed and I refused to pay anything before they change address and respond to other requests. Instead they switched off my account and keep chasing the money, didn’t bother about anything else. It was several other bad experiences with them in the past. Entire checkatrade need to be abolished from trades and consumers perspective!”

“If you are a tradesperson, then stay well away from this company, they are absolute scammers. They will enroll you into a contract, which you cannot leave and have to continue to pay, Even though you have not agreed to it or signed up to it. I agreed to be in a brochure over the telephone for three months only for three months only, to be in a brochure that was supposed to go out for 35,000 homes, have an extra cost of £80 per month. I didn’t even receive this brochure come through my door once, and I’m in the area it was supposed to be distributed. They continued taking two extra (5) payments in total when only supposed to be 3. So two extra months for which I cannot claim back and now they’re saying I have to stay in it for a remaining eight more months. They don’t even guarantee you sending you work or advertising you as a business anymore they have a computer work everything out through algorithms. So it’s just luck of the draw. Absolute scammers.”
