At Checkatrade, we’re building something bigger than a trade directory. We're creating the go-to platform for home improvement — a place where homeowners can find the right tradesperson, and trades can find the right work. Whether it’s fixing a leaky tap or planning a full renovation, we help make sure every job is a job done right. Hiring a tradesperson can feel high-risk. People aren’t always sure if the price is fair, the reviews are real, or what happens if things go wrong. At the same time, tradespeople often feel like they’re paying into platforms that don’t offer enough in return. We’re here to change that — for both sides. That’s why we’ve evolved Checkatrade from a listing site into a marketplace and mobile app that brings everything together. Homeowners can post a job, reach multiple checked trades at once, chat in-app, book in a time, and even pay securely. Our Guarantee covers jobs booked through Checkatrade, offering up to £1,000 of protection (T&Cs apply). For tradespeople, we’re building tools to save time, grow their business, and build a reputation that lasts. From quote-to-invoice job flow to profile enhancements and AI job suggestions — we're backing the people who turn up, do great work, and care about the end result. We’ve got big plans. That means growing our platform, evolving our products, and shaping new ways to support better work — from inspiration to installation. And we’re doing it with a team that’s proactive, dependable, and genuinely cares about getting things right. If you believe pride in your work still matters, you’ll feel right at home here. Join us — and help build the platform where every job’s a job done right.
