To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

I needed a garage door fixing

I needed a garage door fixing, check a trade gave me three options to get quotes from. Garage doors r us got back to me quickly, he came out same day and done the job on the spot, well prepared with all the parts needed. I had checked the bench mark price for the job before hand so I was prepared. He charged me a fair price for what he did, other traders were more expensive.

The Move (again)

I used Checkatrade in the knowledge the moving company were registered and would be efficient. Moving practically single handed was difficult preparing this time, for once. The moving company were on time, friendly and efficient and I felt at ease straight away. I don’t do reviews and I’m private person, but these guys were worth a shout; Scottwells of Westerhope, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Great service with CheckerTrade

I’ve used checkertrade twice in the last month and on both occasions the service has been excellent with me being able to get access to the services I need and then contracting with the chosen party in quick time. Your site and app are easy to use and the response rate once you have put your request in is very fast. Well done. Very much appreciate the service and will recommend others. Thanks. Dr Luke

Re- built garden

Haydn, Scott & Gary have done a fantastic job on our back garden. They put in new fencing all round, rebuilt a step and laid a new patio for us. This work has transformed the garden into a space we want to spend time in again.

They were also all really nice guys to deal with, professional, hard working, and are highly skilled at what they do.

We would highly recommend them to anyone needing work done.

Sunrise Installations are the best firm for conservatory installations in our opinion. The total process from measuring, quoting, removal of old conservatory and building new one was completed in a professional and compassionate way. Showing expertise and courtesy from start to finish. We could not fault Sunrise Installations. Very happy with the excellent result and enjoying our beautiful new room.

We understand why that would be concerning.

Reviews aren’t filtered based on whether they’re positive or negative, but they do go through checks before being published, especially where there are allegations of fraud or scams. This can sometimes mean reviews take longer to appear while they’re being reviewed against our guidelines.

If you’d like us to check the status of your review, you can:

Call us on 020 3974 1990, or

Absolutely outstanding New Bathroom & Kitchen

Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. After completing our Bathroom, Blue Flame came and gave our kitchen a total makeover. The team were brilliant, clearing out the old kitchen, disposing of the waste as they worked and by the time they had finished. Presented us with what can only be described as an Amazing New Showroom Style Kitchen with every little detail taken into consideration. Their work ethos seems to be "If you are not happy, we are not happy" A massive thank you once again to Jason (MD) and his team led by Chris.
