Rogue Traders


Good Morning 

We have had some calls regarding Kings Steam Cleaning – location was Tanglewood, Gillingham.  The ‘company’ charged an elderly couple £600 for a 30 minute steam clean of their driveway.  They had initially wanted £800.  When the victims family contacted them, the suspects were abusive over the phone.  We have had similar incidents in the East of the county in January and last year in the West.

Should you have any person come to your house unannounced offering to conduct work on your property, just say no.  

If you need workman to remedy some issues on your property please check all companies before agreeing to any work being conducted.

 

Be Safe, Be Sure.
