Checkatrade.comReviews 

Jack did an amazing job with my mouse problem. He was able to attend very soon after I called, and on first visit investigated the property thoroughly, laid bait and traps, answered my endless questions, and explained clearly all the logic behind what he was doing and what the further plan would be, which I found very reassuring. On second visit external proofing was completed and he answered lots more questions. I was quite anxious about the mice and Jack has given me a great deal of peace of mind, on top of all the practical knowledge and solutions!

Trustworthy and reliable. They did a great job. Would have back again.

Very good experience with electric company, plumbing and building.

David contacted me quickly and gave me a good price. Work was carried out and even a little extra as he noticed another part of the guttering was broken. All sorted and done without fuss. Couldn’t test it for a while as no rain, but works a treat.

Had a cowboy REVAMP HOME LTD based in swindon
checkatrade took months to pay a clear cut case.
only got £1000 through their scheme
but £1000s lost and small claims battle to go.
useless company which allows fake reviews for cowboys

This company were straight up and honest. Didn't try to oversell me things I didn't need.
Arranged a date for the job, but then fit the job in sooner due to a cancellation.
A fantastic job was done and they took away all the old stuff.
Competitively priced and real professional gents.
Highly recommended

“Once again Cristie has come to my rescue! He sourced the part that I required and fitted it quickly. efficiently and courteously. As I have said before, I don't go anywhere else for my plumbing and heating needs now.”

Really amazing service on this website

Had all doors and windows done. Quality is second to none. Got 3 quotes as recommended. I got more window openings, beautiful chrome handles, amazing composite door, knocker, letterbox opening; all for the best price. Communication was amazing, messaged and either get an immediate message back or a phone call really quickly. Nothing seemed too much trouble. I wouldn’t definitely recommend +++

Check a trade

My personal experience with Checkatrade has been extremely disappointing.

Last year, when work was quiet, I signed up because I believed it was a pay-as-you-go service. I was later charged £36 a month, which wasn’t what I believed I’d agreed to. I contacted them, asked to cancel, and my monthly fee was reduced to £0, so I genuinely believed my account had been closed.

Because I thought it was all over, I deleted the app and blocked their emails.

Fast forward 12 months, and I’ve suddenly started receiving two or three phone calls a day asking me to pay £36 a month because my account had automatically renewed. I had no idea this had happened.

I’ve contacted them repeatedly asking to cancel, but they’ve refused. After several stressful phone calls, the best they offered was to reduce the fee to £12 a month for a service I don’t want, don’t need, and won’t use.

To make matters worse, during a call with a member of the cancellations team today, I felt I was spoken to dismissively and even believed they were sniggering at me while I was trying to explain my situation. That only added to the frustration and stress of the whole experience.

This has been my personal experience, and I’m sharing it so other tradespeople can make sure they fully understand the terms, especially any automatic renewal conditions, before signing up.

I’ve used checkatrade a few times recently and they give me access to professionals in various areas. I always do my own reviews of those I choose, but definitely a good starting point.

What can I say.. a few companies didn’t respond after initial txt. Then work got done by a fella that was friendly and Professional.

Trustpilot.

“He was faultless in communication with me despite the delays from delivery of the appliance. Carl is a clean worker clearing up Carl is a friendly, knowledgeable and extremely professional person. He has a postive attitude and nothing phases him. I would give him 11/10 if i could. I feel confident in his work and safety is paramount for our family

Find a wonderful plasterer who turned up when he said and finished the job in a day to a very high standard.

Sadly, I think this is only an average Service. The reason for that is because when you try to leave feedback for some reason you can’t and I’ve tried multiple times which then makes you question how legitimate feedback in fact is when you’re unable to leave it.

It’s a personal preference. I just find other apps available are more user-friendly and overall I receive a better response..

Perfect score for communication, reliability, value for money and a job well done. The carpet had seen better days but a few hours with Safeclean - Martin Jordan it will live to see another tenant. Thank you Martin and your colleagues.”

Trustpilot.

A great experience from start to finish. Gerry and his team did a great job at giving us a new bathroom. Couldnt be happier. We hope to get a new kitchen fitted by him later in the year. I highly recommend him to anyone.

“Pavel was very quick responding to the job and he came out on the same day. Very reliable and friendly. did an excellent job. Will defo use him again if needed and highly recommend”

Lack of contact, eventually saying he'd come back next afternoon to fix a problem he had created but never turned up not called.
