The MyApproved Difference
Why MyApproved verification outperforms Checkatrade
Checkatrade, MyBuilder, and MyJobQuote accept self-reported credentials. MyApproved independently verifies every landscaper against official records before they can quote.
Pay only when you accept a lead. No monthly subscription required.
Fixed subscription regardless of lead volume. Trades locked in for 12-month contracts.
Variable lead cost up to £80. Same lead sold to multiple competing trades simultaneously.
Government-Issued ID Verification
Every applicant submits a government-issued photo ID. MyApproved checks it against official identity records before the profile is created. No ID match - no listing.
Self-declared. Checkatrade does not independently verify identity documents against official records.
£2M Public Liability Insurance Confirmation
Certificate of insurance is submitted at onboarding and verified against the insurer directly. Cover level, policy status, and expiry are all checked. Renewals trigger automatic re-verification.
Self-uploaded. MyBuilder and Checkatrade accept insurance certificates without independent insurer confirmation.
Trade Qualification Check
Regulated trades (Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT, FENSA, MCS, OFTEC) are verified against the live official register - not self-declared. Lapsed or suspended registrations are flagged immediately.
Checkatrade states tradespeople 'may' hold relevant qualifications. MyJobQuote does not verify regulated trade credentials.
Customer Reference Screening
Applicants provide references from recent completed jobs. MyApproved contacts referees independently. Reviews on the platform are gated to confirmed bookings only - no anonymous or self-submitted ratings.
Checkatrade reviews can be left by anyone, not just confirmed customers. Review authenticity is not independently verified.
Every landscaper on MyApproved is re-verified every 12 months. Insurance lapses, suspended Gas Safe registrations, and revoked qualifications trigger immediate account suspension - before any homeowner can be affected. Checkatrade and MyBuilder do not operate an automated annual re-verification system.
