Checkatrade for Android

Quick summary

Checkatrade helps homeowners locate and hire vetted tradespeople for renovation and repair work. The Android app streamlines job submissions by letting you attach photos, so complex tasks are communicated clearly. You can browse available professionals or receive tailored suggestions based on your needs.

Sharing your job and getting matches

• Upload pictures and brief descriptions of the task to give tradespeople a clear idea of what’s required.
• Choose between scanning listings yourself or asking the app for personalized recommendations from its network.

Communication and privacy

All messaging happens inside the app, keeping conversations in one place without exposing your personal contact details. The built-in chat makes it easy to clarify requirements, share updates, and agree on job specifics.

Scheduling and progress alerts

Receive reminders and notifications for upcoming appointments and milestone updates, so you can track the status of your project without needing extra tools.

Trust, reviews and workmanship promise

Every professional listed is subject to strict background checks before appearing on the platform, and the directory is supported by more than 6.2 million user reviews. Checkatrade also offers a workmanship assurance with the possibility to claim up to £1,000 under its published terms and conditions.
