Cold Callers

Cumbria Trading Standards are warning residents in Kendal about doorstep callers in the area offering to provide roof repairs.

The callers do not provide statutory cancellation notices and although the initial price quoted may be low, the costs can rapidly become excessive and may be accompanied by aggressive or intimidating behaviour.

Trading Standards Advice is to always say ‘NO’ to any cold callers.

Trading Standards can be contacted via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 08454 04 05 06 or visit www.adviceguide.org.uk or you can contact the Police on 101.
