Gone are the days of trying to remember which trade you spoke to and where you spoke to them.
With the Checkatrade app, your messages are all stored in one place.

‘One picture is worth a thousand words’. And one picture may help you to better explain your job and needs to a trade.
Now you can add photos to your job requests on the Checkatrade app, this helps tradespeople to get a better idea of what it is you need, helping them to quote accurately.
