At this time of year we start receiving calls about Rogue Traders going door to door, offering gardening and maintenance services. If anybody comes to your home unannounced and offers to carry out works you should: Check their identity. If you are not happy about a person’s identity then do not let them into your homeNever leave the front door open/unlocked and unattended, so a second individual can’t enter without your knowledgeTake time to consider your options and research costs from other providers. If in doubt contact Trading StandardsIf you feel pressured by any cold caller, have the confidence to be firm and say noLegitimate builders do not usually call door to doorCall citizens advice consumer helpline following a doorstep caller on 03454 04 05 06Further Fraud advice is available on the Lincolnshire Police website
