Rogue Traders

We continue to receive reports of rogue traders in our area

Fraud is a very common issue that we all have to deal with and there are a range of types of fraud used by criminals. Doorstep sellers and rogue traders are working in our communities and we advise you not to engage with sellers or contractors who come to your home unannounced.

If someone approaches your home to offer work or point out work that they believe you need to have done, then we advise you to find a reputable company who can come and give you a legitimate quote to carry out that work. Rogue traders will charge you a large amount for a small amount of work – or will complete the work to a very poor standard. A genuine company should not put you under pressure to make an immediate decision.

Always research a company that is coming to work on your property.
