Trading standards officials are warning people in Nottinghamshire to be wary of rogue tradesmen.
(prHWY.com) October 29, 2011 - USA, AK -- Trading standards officials are warning people in Nottinghamshire to be wary of rogue tradesmen.
According to the professional association, the number of complaints about poor roofing work in the East Midlands County has risen sharply in that past year.
In 2010, trading standards received 218 complaints regarding unacceptable roofing work; an increase from 117 in 2009. One example case involved an elderly couple, whom were registered blind and partially sighted, being charged £8,000 for roof repairs over two days but upon refusing to pay, the roofers carried on without permission and then demanded cash up front.
Mick Murphy, Nottinghamshire county councillor, said: "Anyone who agrees to a contract like this should be given a seven-day cooling off period but many companies prey on the elderly and try to rush them into doing the work by offering a dubious 'discount'."
Many corrupt tradesmen offer roof repair services to vulnerable Brits such as the elderly and disabled but avoid being duped into a roof scam by choosing reputable roofing contractors Nottingham with the help of myredlandroof.
Dodgy roofers can intimidate consumers into forking out thousands of pounds for poor quality and unnecessary repairs. But the professional Nottingham roofers listed on the roofing specialists website promise to do work at realistic prices and the standard of roofing is second-to-none.
Rest assured that all the tradesmen registered on the site are Trustmark approved and vetted so you can sit back and have peace of mind that a reliable roofer is undergoing your roofing project.
The Trust Mark Scheme is a government-backed set of criteria that identifies trustworthy contractors. Any contractor that carries the Trust Mark will be independently checked through regular onsite inspections; have an insurance backed warranty; give deposit protection insurance; have had their trading record and financial status checked; and provide an independent complaints procedure.
So if your roof needs fixing, be careful of hiring a rogue roofer and find a trusted installer at myredlandroof.
