What Checkatrade does for your home projects

Checkatrade is an Android app that makes locating reliable local tradespeople straightforward. It puts a large pool of vetted professionals within reach and helps you choose the right person for repairs, renovations, or installations without lengthy searching.

How to describe your job quickly

  • Snap and upload photos to show the work that needs doing, so tradespeople can understand complex tasks at a glance.
  • Browse listings or receive tailored suggestions based on your job details and location.
  • Add essential information about timings, materials, or access so estimates are more accurate.

Staying in touch and on schedule

  • Use the built-in chat to keep all messages in one place without revealing your personal phone number.
  • Receive alerts and reminders about upcoming appointments and project milestones so nothing gets missed.

Safety checks and workmanship assurance

  • Every professional listed undergoes a thorough vetting process before appearing in the directory.
  • The platform is supported by millions of customer reviews (over 6.2 million), helping you compare reputations and past work.
  • A workmanship promise is offered for qualifying jobs, including the option to claim up to £1,000 under specified terms and conditions.

Additional notes and alternatives

  • The app is designed for Android users and aims to shorten the time from request to quote.
  • If you’re exploring other options, one alternative to consider is Star Sport Live — a free sports guide app (useful if you also want non-trade apps recommended).
