Doorstep crime warning

0

This National Maintenance Week our trading standards team are warning residents to be alert to doorstep crime particularly general property repairs with roofing work being regularly reported to us.

Roofing work can be tricky as homeowners are often unsure whether the work really needs doing or if it has been done properly once it’s complete.

You may only realise work has not been done properly weeks later when the bad weather returns.

In periods of bad weather our trading standards team will often see an increase in incidents of uninvited trader’s door knocking offering to do work.

Please ensure you are using a reputable trader, you can find a number of local traders on our Good Trader scheme.
