Please be vigilant and protect your family and neighbours from rogue traders Historically a variety of ‘tricks’ to obtain work with the usual of “We are doing some work for a neighbour” or “Your tree branches are dangerous and need to be cut” are used to attempt to gain work The work is usually substandard, not necessary and overpriced. Previously they have inflated the price on completion from £56 to £356. Homeowners have even paid on a card reader only to be told the card reader hadn't worked and asked to put their details in again, later checking their accounts and thousands of pounds have been withdrawn. Only use local reputable companies, not these door to door scammers who travel from area to area and fly tip your garden waste on open land in Trafford. Do not be pressured into any work or into paying extra if you agree to any work. Ensure friends and neighbours who are vulnerable possibly due to age are aware of these rogue traders who may not be on social media who read these posts.
