“Checkatrade are untrustworthy they have stopped verifying traders and you'll find many without insurance they do not give you the correct number / contact details for the trader you select and often redirect your call to another firm.”

“Contacted Colin @ Window Locksmith Aid Services. What a polite honest knowledgeable man he was. With true old fashioned workmanship principals he applies to his work& business. My Pvc rear door has never opened & closed so easily. I would Highly recommend his services.”

“Check a trade sent us 100s of emails and calls over a three year period, after the pandemic we was about to close down but I then decided to give them a go when offered a free trial. During the call I was persuaded to give a higher membership fee of £70 a month which had a guarantee client base number of 2-3 a month, I was informed on the phone that I could end at any time. My clients never came , so I decided to end the membership and stop paying the fees after 8 months but was told I had a contract. I now have a collection company called SHOOSMITHS threatening to take us to court for £201 plus fees , we are a micro private ltd company.”

“Got ripped off by a trader on there, absolute cowboys. Checkatrade’s guarantee and complaints system is a scam. They don’t care and you won’t get the £1000 they guarantee you with even when they know you’ve been ripped off. They need to be struck off. Do not use them.”

“They do not support local business paying to be under their wings. The company has changed and does not not stand for what it did. I had an wrong review published against my company and they have no interest of finding out the truth or getting to the bottom of the issue.”

“As a business owner using this service to gain more customers for expansion i can honestly say its never worth it. Ironically, they provide a terrible service to the customers that use them. We have tried to cancel 3 times after receiving little work within our area and lots from over 40 miles away. We changed the area numerous times with them but still were contacted by jobs a long way from where we are based. Still paying for their services even though we have been taken off and into our 3rd month after officially cancelling and still paying them! Constantly trying to resolve with them week to week but with no avail? This must be breaking consumer codes which for a company that encourage the connection of quality tradespeople to good clients is almost laughable. I see a lot of people on here with similar problems. We were never tied into contract, i made sure that wasn’t on the agenda but still seem to be paying for services we have cancelled numerous occasions.”

“Checkatrade are absolute criminals. I am furious with them. They lie through their teeth on sales calls and then when you are signed up to a 12 month contract they show their true colours. They will tell you on a sales call they they are there to help every step of your journey, my experience has been that they have consistently worked against me. 1. They have advisors who make “suggestions” on your profile to get the most amount of work..however they cannot spell, or write sentences that reads properly l, or listen when you disagree with advice. I had a profile that literally looked like a 5 year old had written it before noticing several months later. 2. They have tried to take too much money numerous times, so I’ve had to cancel the dd. 3. A review disappeared off my profile and I noticed by chance that my overall score and number of review was inaccurate. The review happened to be a 10/10. I have called and they don’t know why, promised to call back twice but haven’t, it is still inaccurate now. This I ta a breach of agreement. 4. The website and app are so badly maintained that it literally takes hours to upload photos from each job. Each photo uploads the wrong way around and you can only turn it 90 degrees at a time. Each turn takes about 20 seconds to load. After about it on 3 turns the app crashes and you have to restart the app. In the phone they just say “we know about it so it’s ok” 5 on a sales call you will be promised 3 Calls or messages a month on average. This is a lie. The three messages (or sales calls) are generically sent to every trader in the area, when a customer makes a general enquiry for anybody to respond to. I’m about to seek legal advice over Checkatrade. They are in breach of their agreement and simply couldn’t care less. They have literally pulled my reputation down with incorrect stats when I’m paying them to help! Avoid like the plague!!”

“Dont use Checkatrade. It's got unprofessional people who are unable to do the job they say they can do. The Checkatrade guarantee isn't worth the paper it's printed on.”

“Checkatrade is where cowboys that can't get recommended by customers go. The company is on the side of the trader, as they are the paying customer, and complaints go round in circles and rarely result in resolution for the customer. I've had painting work and a patio from checkatrade traders, and BOTH ripped me off. Go on personal recommendations only. NEVER use checkatrade.”

“An absolute joke of a company, was mis sold a contract from them, cancellation is impossible. Have placed a block on their direct debits via my bank as they're a con company who think I have the time and energy to call them MONTHLY to put my account on hold, every month I must renew the hold on my account or else.... ( like today ) the account renews and you get billed another £129 or whatever they signed you with. Its true, VERY friendly when signing you on, once they do... impossible to get a hold of.. fact when I needed to speak to then I instantly got through on the ' new client ' number... existing client ?!? Doesn't exist.”
