askporter triages every resident issue. Checkatrade brings the UK's largest network of vetted tradespeople. Together: a maintenance operation you can scale into a new region without a single phone call to find a contractor.
If your portfolio is growing into regions where you don't have a contractor relationship — Scotland and Wales — the cost is the same every time: a frantic search, an unvetted booking, a job you cross your fingers on. The askporter × Checkatrade partnership removes that step entirely. Residents report through askporter. Quotes arrive from vetted Checkatrade tradespeople within hours. Work completes; payment processes; the audit trail closes itself.
This partnership is designed to reduce risk and save you time by streamlining the entire repair lifecycle:
Access professional tradespeople for all job types, even in areas where you lack existing contractor relationships, including Scotland and Wales.
Benefit from the Checkatrade integration as a value-add to your core askporter service, allowing you to access their service without additional bolt-on fees for the first year.
Every tradesperson is vetted and reviewed, ensuring only the best professionals enter your properties.
Every quote, message, and payment is recorded in one auditable system, providing complete oversight without the manual admin.
Once you approve a price, the system automatically facilitates the "when and where" directly with the tenant.
Give your tenants a seamless journey, from the moment an issue rises to getting it resolved using one solution.
We have simplified the maintenance process into one straight flow to ensure a coherent experience for both you and your tenants.
A tenant reports an issue through the askporter digital assistant.
You receive 5 vetted quotes to choose from. If you do not accept, you can decline and request more quotes.
A vetted tradesperson accepts the job on spec. If they propose a price adjustment, you have the final say on whether to approve or repost the job.
The trade and tenant confirm the appointment time directly within the system.
The job is signed off and payment is made securely through the Checkatrade platform.
