Warning against Cold Callers Offering Property Repairs
Oxfordshire County Council are warning residents to be wary of cold callers offering to do property repairs after recent storms
Published: 2 November 2023
The Trading Standards team is receiving an increased number of complaints about cold callers and leaflets for traders being put through the door, resulting in reports of overcharging for work, charging for unnecessary work and completing work of poor quality.
Don’t be pressured and check with others if the work is required and what is a fair price to pay. Obtain other quotes and seek advice and recommendations for trades people from friends and relatives.
