When do people use TraderCheck?
Most checks happen at one of three moments
Doorstep quote you weren't expecting
Someone offers to fix your driveway, roof, or guttering on the spot. Run a TraderCheck in 60 seconds — Companies House, Gas Safe, Google reviews and more.
Facebook or Nextdoor recommendation
A friend vouches for them on Facebook. That's a start — but it's not a Companies House check, a Gas Safe lookup, or a review pattern analysis.
Big job, big deposit
They've asked for money upfront. Check their business identity, trade credentials, and review history before a penny changes hands.
