Dishonest marketing

It is not FREE to sign up. Once you click the FREE sign up you will immediately be tied to a contract and they won’t stop ringing you to complete the vetting even if you tell them you’re not interested and want to cancel.

It’s not easy to cancel either. You have to ring, and go through a whole process.

Do not join them

Terrible service would give them 0 stars if possible complete rip off scam for trades absolutely rubbish do not recommend at all

Gone to the dogs - been taken over by private equity

Once upon a time, checkatrade was decent. Not anymore, this is now a huge con and the staff on the telephone for any support issues are actually rude and sarcastic, demonstrating a complete lack of respect to the tradesmen across this country that keep them going. Year on year they want more money for their shareholders and that money comes from us. I’ve left the platform now and will never ever return, I highly recommend you stay away if you know what is good for you and your business. The contracts are dodgy, you’ll sign up for a year and end up auto enrolled and because of B2B practices, there’s little you can do to get out of these dodgy Canadian contracts other than pay extortionate sums of money. Paying £400 per month is quite usual now and for it you get very very little.
