⚠️ Please Read & Share – Protect Our Community from Rogue Roofers ⚠️
We’re seeing a worrying increase in reports of scam roofers operating across Cornwall — and they’re costing people thousands.
It often starts with a simple offer: “Your roof looks damaged, we can fix it for £1,300.”
But once they start…
- Suddenly it’s “rotten rafters”
- And the bill jumps to £20,000+
These traders may:
- Arrive in unmarked vans
- Advertise online or doorstep residents
- Pretend to be reputable local companies
🛑 Remember:
❌ Don’t be pressured into quick decisions
✅ Genuine traders won’t rush you
✅ Always check credentials and reviews
💡 Top Tip: Only use vetted businesses through the Trading Standards Buy With Confidence scheme: www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk
