Rogue traders often target homes by cold-calling, offering repairs or services you didn’t ask for. They may pressure you into quick decisions, exaggerate problems, or demand cash up front. Protect yourself: • Don’t agree to work on the doorstep – reputable traders don’t need to cold-call. • Use traders recommended by someone you trust – ask a neighbour, friend, or relative for recommendations they’ve used before. • Never feel rushed – take time to think and get at least two written quotes. • Check credentials – ask for ID and verify registered businesses independently. • Avoid paying cash upfront – use traceable payment methods only once work is complete and agreed. • Trust your instincts – if something feels wrong, say no and close the door. If you’re concerned: • In an emergency or if you feel threatened, call 999. Look out for elderly or vulnerable neighbours — rogue traders often target people living alone. Remember: It’s OK to say NO. Attachments: rogue-traders-not-sure%-dont-open-the-door.pdf
