A ROGUE trader has been reported operating in Offenham.
Police have said a male claiming to have walked from Doncaster was going door-to-door with a set of ladders offering roof and gutter work for payment.
A spokesperson advises that this is the hallmark of a rogue trader and for people to protect themselves and neighbours.
Other identifiers include: uninvited doorstep calls, poor quality work, unnecessary repairs, pressure tactics demanding upfront cash and targeting elderly and vulnerable residents.
The public should always ask for ID before letting anyone in their home, check credentials including a permanent business address and phone number, get at least three written quotes for work and ask for references.
Any concerns should be reported to Evesham Police and Trading Standards.
