In the wake of damage caused by Storm Doris Warwickshire Trading Standards is issuing a warning for people to beware of bogus cold callers.
Rogue traders use unusually stormy weather as a way of persuading people that they need work done on their property – such as repairing loose roof tiles or removing damaged trees.
You can't tell a good trader from a bad one on the doorstep. Avoid buying from unexpected/unknown doorstep traders.
