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.
