Understanding your membership term

Most Checkatrade memberships run on a fixed 12-month term.

When you joined, you agreed to the terms set out in your original membership agreement. These terms are generally binding, so it’s important to check your agreement for the specific details that apply to you.

If you’re unsure what your current term is or when it ends, our team can help explain this.

Automatic renewal explained

Your membership is set to automatically renew every 12 months, unless you tell us you’d like to cancel within your renewal window.

This renewal helps make sure there’s no interruption to your service, including:

• Leads and visibility in customer searches

• Access to the Checkatrade for Trades app

• Continued use of the Checkatrade brand and tools

• Member perks, profile support and account features

Automatic renewal is designed to prevent gaps in your lead flow or profile visibility.

Renewal reminders

Your renewal window opens about one month before your renewal date. We will send you reminders via email, SMS, and push notification at three key times:

1. At the beginning of the renewal window.

2. Halfway through the window.

3. One week before the window closes.

This is the point at which you should contact us if you don’t want your membership to renew for another term.

Please note:

• Replying to the renewal email will not cancel your membership

• You’ll need to speak to a member of our team to formally request cancellation

How to cancel your membership

To cancel your membership at the end of your current contract period, you’ll need to contact our support team.

Important things to know

• Cancelling your direct debit alone will not end your contract

• Your membership will continue until the end of the agreed fixed term

• Charges will still apply if cancellation is requested outside the correct notice window

Speaking to our team is the only way to formally cancel your Checkatrade membership.

Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel my membership early?

Checkatrade memberships usually run for a fixed 12-month term. This means you can’t normally cancel partway through your contract. If you’re unsure what applies to your membership, our support team can check your agreement and explain your options.

What happens if I miss the renewal window?

If we don’t hear from you before your renewal date, your membership will automatically renew for another 12-month term. If this happens, charges will apply for the new contract period, in line with your agreement.

Is replying to the renewal email enough to cancel?

No — replying to the renewal email won’t cancel your membership. To formally request cancellation, you’ll need to speak directly with a member of our support team.

Can I cancel by stopping my direct debit?

No. Cancelling your direct debit on its own does not end your contract. Your membership will continue until it’s formally cancelled with our support team and reaches the end of the agreed term.

How do I know when my membership ends?

Your end date is set out in your original membership agreement and will also be on your invoices. If you can’t find it, just get in touch and we’ll confirm it for you.
