Scams in your area - Cold caller gutter cleaning
6th of December, 2022
Residents in the South Ribble area are being warned to be on the alert after reports of cold callers knocking on doors offering to clean gutters. In one case an elderly householder was charged £200 for the gutter work, the traders then found an issue with roof tiles and the repairs cost another £500. No work had been carried out.
