StreetCheck was one of the UK's most popular free postcode tools for over a decade. In March 2026, Crystal Roof acquired StreetCheck, migrating its users to the Crystal Roof platform. If you're looking for a StreetCheck alternative that's free, fast and easy to use, Know My Postcode was built for exactly that.
StreetCheck was acquired by Crystal Roof in March 2026. The StreetCheck brand continues to exist but users are now being redirected to Crystal Roof's platform. While Crystal Roof is a capable tool, many StreetCheck users are looking for a cleaner, simpler alternative that doesn't require an account.
