Rogue traders in the Sevenoaks district.
Horton Kirby & South Darenth Parish Council
Sevenoaks Police have received several reports for rogue traders across the district carrying out work after knocking on doors touting for jobs. They then charge excessive amounts for little or poor quality work.
If such persons come to your door be polite but firm that you do not require the work completed no matter how good an offer they initially make.
If you are aware of elderly or vulnerable neighbours engaging with such traders offer support, take details of vehicles, business details, be that 'Nosey Neighbour' support them in saying no to the traders. If they don't leave call 999.
Don't ever go to a bank or cash point with a trader; legitimate traders would never do this.
Use reputable traders who are members of the KCC Trading Standards approved trader scheme
