| We have received reports of rogue traders approaching residents in Crewkerne and surrounding areas. Please take this opportunity to remind everyone:
How to Spot Rogue Traders • Unsolicited doorstep offers: Legitimate traders rarely knock on doors offering urgent repairs. • Pressure tactics: Claims like “I’m only in your area today” or “your roof is dangerous” are red flags. • No written quote: Always insist on a detailed, written quote before agreeing to work. • Cash-only or upfront payment: Avoid paying in full before work starts; reputable traders accept secure payment methods. • No credentials or ID: Genuine professionals will show ID and proof of qualifications. • Too-good-to-be-true deals: Extremely low prices or “special offers” often indicate a scam. Tips to Avoid Rogue Trader Scams 1. Get multiple quotes – Compare at least three written estimates. 2. Check reviews and references – Use trusted directories like Checkatrade or TrustMark. 3. Verify credentials – Ensure they are licensed and insured. 4. Never make snap decisions – Take time to consult family or neighbours. 5. Avoid cash payments – Use traceable payment methods. 6. Don’t let anyone pressure you – If they refuse to leave, call 999.
