Win more work with our guarantee

Just being a Checkatrade member can often increase your chances of winning jobs. And now we've increased your chances even more with the Checkatrade guarantee*.

It’s a no-brainer – why not put the odds in your favour by making a song and dance about having your work guaranteed!

What is the Checkatrade guarantee?

Find and book your trade with us and we'll guarantee their work up to £1,000*.

Guaranteed for 12 months. Eligibility and T&Cs apply

The guarantee is a backup. We’d always expect you to try to make things right first, when it comes to your work. But if you can’t we’d step in to help make things right for your customer* (Eligibility criteria and T&Cs apply).

Each job is guaranteed by £1,000 for up to 12 months*.

What does the guarantee cover?

Our guarantee gives homeowners up to £1,000 of cover for your work*, and it won’t cost you or them a penny. There are no excess or hidden charges (Eligibility criteria and T&Cs apply).

Work that is seen as ‘sub-standard’ or ‘doesn’t meet industry regulations’ will be eligible for this guarantee. We’ll always check if there’s any truth in your customer’s complaint.

Do I have to pay extra to be covered by the guarantee?

Nope. Being a Checkatrade member alone is enough.

What does the customer have to do to make the claim?

They will need to follow 3 steps.

First, they need to contact you as their tradesperson to explain why they’re not happy. They will then give you a deadline to sort the issue. This can vary dependent on the work.

If you do not resolve the issue, then the customer will move on to the second step. They will have needed to leave you a review on our website within 30 days of work being completed.

Third, they will then complete a claim form. It is at this point we will then start the process and speak with you about the issue before preparing a surveyor to come out and review the work.

Tradespeople so good we guarantee their work for a year*
