Police are urging Burntwood residents to be on their guard after reports of a “rogue trader” calling at a local property.

Officers say they received a report of a vulnerable resident being visited by a man yesterday (10th August) in Chasetown.

PCSO Leon Worden said:

> “A man in a van offered to remove mould from a roof but did not give his name, number or contact details.  
>  
> “He quoted nearly £1,000 for the work to be done before dropping the price to £300.  
>  
> “The resident has then agreed after feeling pressured into the cold call sale.”  
>  
> PCSO Leon Worden

PCSO Worden asked people to make sure they carry out relevant checks on workmen.

> “Obtain a few quotes before getting work done at your property, read reviews about previous work they have completed and that you are not obliged to answer your door to cold callers.  
>  
> “Please speak with vulnerable friends and relatives about Cold Callers and rogue traders.”
