🚨Beware of Rogue Traders 🚨

Have you been approached at your door by someone offering roofing, driveway, gardening or repair work?

Rogue trading is when a person or business dishonestly sells goods or services, often targeting vulnerable people, particularly elderly resident

Rogue traders often: 

❌ Knock unexpectedly at your door
❌ Pressure you into making a quick decision
❌ Demand cash payments
❌ Carry out unnecessary or poor-quality work
❌ Charge inflated prices

✅ Always get at least three quotes
✅ Check traders' credentials and reviews
✅ Speak to family, friends or neighbours before agreeing to work
✅ Never feel pressured to make an immediate decision

If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and say NO.

If you have concerns about rogue traders in your area, report them to the police via 101 or Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or Trading Standards (the citizen Advise consumer Helpline number on 08082231133)
