Someone at your door offering repairs?
If a person you don’t know offers to fix your roof, driveway or gutters – or other work –
you don’t have to open the door or speak to them.
Stop the conversation. Stop the scam.

Told “this is urgent and needs doing now”?
If someone you don’t know says your loft, roof or walls – or other work – are “dangerous” and must be fixed today,

Saw a trader online and now they’re at your door?
Adverts and reviews can be misleading.
Ask friends or family who they’ve used, and get a few quotes before you choose.

Trader asking for cash now?
Be cautious if a trader wants large cash payments, wants paying before work is done,
or offers to take you to the bank.
You can say no and end the chat.
