Costs and comparisons
What it all costs, with the sources shown
Four reference pages for the part before you buy anything. Every number carries where it came from, and where a figure is a member report rather than a published rate, the page says so on the line.
We sell websites, so we are not a neutral party. We have tried to write these so you could use them to argue against us.
What a tradesman website actually costs
Rental, one-off, agency and DIY. Real ranges, and where our prices sit inside them.
02What Checkatrade actually costs
The published tiers, what members report paying, and the parts that are not about price.
03Renting against owning
One, three and five year arithmetic, including when renting is the better call.
04Alternatives to Checkatrade for UK trades
Directories, Google Business Profile, your own site and word of mouth, weighed honestly.
The numbers in these guides read differently depending on what you sell. A boiler is researched for weeks and a leak is decided in ninety seconds, which is the split covered in websites for plumbers and heating engineers. A five figure solar or battery job carries the build cost in a single sale, set out in websites for solar and renewables.
