No monthly bill, no 12-month contract
Checkatrade members commonly pay a membership — often on a 12-month plan — plus, on many trades, extra per-lead charges. Here you pay nothing until a customer selects you and we share their contact details.
- No monthly membership and no 12-month contract.
- The fee is in writing before you commit.
- At most five trades selected per job.
- You can see if that customer pays on time and treats trades fairly.

Verification, stated plainly
We check ID, public liability and qualifications, then delete the files. That is a point-in-time check, not a guarantee the insurance is still valid or that the work will be good. We do not claim a checks count we cannot stand behind. See the Refund Policy for when we will and will not refund a lead.
Our lead fees — published, not quoted
