Checkatrade connects Claude to the UK's trusted network of vetted,

reviewed tradespeople — plumbers, electricians, builders, handymen,

roofers, plasterers, carpenters and joiners, painters and decorators,

tilers, kitchen and bathroom fitters, locksmiths, gardeners and

landscapers, plus Gas Safe registered heating engineers and many more

trades.

Just give a UK postcode and describe the job in plain English. Whether

it's a leaking or dripping tap, a broken boiler, no hot water, a blocked

drain or toilet, a burst pipe, faulty wiring, a tripping fuse box, a roof

leak or missing tiles, damp, an odd job for a handyman, a repair, an

emergency callout, or a bigger project like a renovation, loft conversion

or extension — Claude returns ranked local results with star ratings,

review counts, Checkatrade badges, contact numbers and direct profile

links, so you can compare trades and get in touch.

For common, straightforward jobs — boiler servicing and repair, gas

safety certificates (CP12), central heating maintenance, and basic

plumbing or electrical work — Claude can also surface fixed-price

Checkatrade Express options and guide you through booking one from start

to finish: collecting your details, gathering the time slots that suit

you, and handing off to secure payment.

Every tradesperson is background-checked and rated by real customers, so

you can hire with confidence. No account, sign-up or login needed — just

a valid UK postcode and a description of what needs doing.
