I was talking to a plumber who said his new annual membership with checkatrade has gone up to a few pennys short of £1,300 a year which he reckons is almost double what he paid last year. He said he gets a few jobs out of the membership, but is considering whether to rejoin.

Not sure if he was giving me bull crap, but if he wasn't that is a big increase and a lot of money to pay to be on a website?

Being nosey I did that earlier but Checkatrade don't show their prices, but just give the nonsense sales rubbish about what great value they offer and how wonderful it is being a member and you should feel privileged if they accept you etc etc

Checkatrade have the first price they quote but if you play hard ball they will lower it substantially to get you signed up for the year.. if you make contact then dont sign up expect regular calls with ever lower prices being offered. In the 2nd year they will up it substantially as the plumber discovered

Its all about how you spend your marketing budget............. Last time check-a-trade contacted me they wanted £760 ............. which is more than I spend on my website, logo'ed clothing and all my adverts put together...........

I politely refused their advances.

If you are starting out ............. then maybe it might make business sense, but I hear a lot of clients saying they don't trust check-a-trade ratings and feedback ............. word of mouth is better.

Everyone likes different shapes. I love the curvy Marilyn Monroe figure. Some like the skinny (looks like a 9 year old boy) look on girls..

IMO that's why all these models are thin cause the high up people in the industry like that look.......

I have a list of these now..not that it helps me much. Come on NICEIC! And, you guessed it.. Checkatrade. This one was incorporated in 2012, so five years trading to learn to get it right.

The householder said "The electrician was confused about the earthing rod".

Property "earthed" through bonding and neighbour's PME. (I actually get 0.15 which isn't bad disregarding that minor detail). Confusion was clear because the field had been "Tippexed" a couple of times.

Ra to the rod is 650 Ohms.

DNO visiting to provide (hopefully) a MET soon.
