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.

Awful customer service

I have been in hospital 2 months and they still charged me for those years which i didn’t work
No communication between, operators , one will day on things tomorrow someone calling your saying something !!!

what??

seriously, I can’t simply sign up log into the app using Google or Apple like any other website? on the Web bass checker trade site if you want to put a job on there, you can’t upload a picture?? why would you not be able to upload a picture which describes everything far? Better than words can? useless.

A lot of leads cancel before you get to quote

You are given an estimated amount of leads per month
I’m paying £1000 a month
Aleast 10-15 leads cancel/don’t answer back / or only want quotes over the phone without an actual assessment so you are quoting blind
(Easy indicator the job isn’t legitimate)

Giving Checkatrade 1 more month or I’m taking legal precedings

Over promise, under deliver

Had a really bad experience with this company, and tied in paying for a year for something I don’t use. Over promise jobs, and under deliver

Chat on app doesn’t work

Chat on app doesn’t work

Unhelpful platform

App crushing , can’t hold of customers , horrible customer service I got 1 job for last 4 weeks

Big opportunity

Checkatrade give us big opportunity, and plenty of customers.
Definitely high recommended if you want to grow up with your business

Never work for these scammers

Never work for these scammers they made me sign up to a membership on a free, they told me it will never go up in price so I got charged 0 pounds every month for a year. then suddenly they locked me into a contract now I have to pay 500 pounds for a year contract

Getting jobs

Get a fair amount of jobs but a lot of false leads, customers do not reply to messages or answer the phone then they withdraw there job. Wastes a lot of my leads.

JARB Design

Best platform for gaining the best work, top tier customers

Amazing

Very good experience

Mr

Great experience with Checkatrade I will definitely recommend this up awesome

Horrible app

Took genuine effort to get this app past the signup screen, constant restarts just to get to the next slide as the done button doesn’t work, then trying to put a profile photo took effort, same thing, and creating an album of my work every photo fails to upload 😂, nothing near 20mb either, been on it 5 minutes and this is the standard

Bedroom deep cleaning

Highly recommended, quality and efficient. Abrahamcleaning services.

Mr Durtygood

Great level of greatness

Absolute TRASH

As you can see from other reviews, been with checkatrade for 2 years and simply a scam, you will pay money and barely find any work with them all they want is your money and offer nothing in return

Don’t waste your money

Supposed to get you more work and leads but totally wasted nearly £5 K and only returned less than %10

Do not sing a contract with them
