How does it work?
When you need a tradesman, it is hard to
know if you are getting someone trustworthy.
The telephone directory is a lottery. A
friend’s recommendation is well-meaning, but
only tells you the tradesman did a good job
once.
What you need is a good reputation that you
can check for yourself.

Search for what you need in your area. Every
business has been vetted and monitored: read
all their feedback and results for yourself,
including what their past customers think,
and what work they have completed.
After a job well done, fill out a customer
feedback card to let us know how the work
went. Your feedback and comments go straight
into our database to keep the public up to
speed on who they can trust.
Why it
works
The success of Checkatrade lies in the power of
partnership.
Consumers want to find tradesmen on whom they can
rely to do a good job. Our trades and services want
the phone to be ringing with genuine customers who
trust them from the start. Checkatrade brings the
two together.
Years ago neighbours would recommend a local
trader over the garden fence, and through word of
mouth a reputation was built. These days it can be
harder for the word to spread and the threat of
rogue traders has increased. Checkatrade has brought
word of mouth recommendation back for the
twenty-first century using modern technology and the
Internet.
We rely on consumers to give us feedback on our
member trades and services. This information is
presented here for all to see. We rely on our member
businesses to maintain the Checkatrade standard,
knowing that they will be publicly exposed if they
do not. For our part, we continue to display
honestly the results of consumer feedback and our
vetting procedure.
This three-way partnership is a powerful
combination to solve the problem of rogue traders
across the UK.
