RESIDENTS are urged to be wary of rogue roofers seeking to cash in on the stormy weather.
Poole trading standards officers fear the recent bad weather could lead to dishonest doorstep tradesmen persuading householders they need unnecessary work done or taking advantage of people needing urgent house repairs.
Do not sign up to any work on the doorstep, no matter how urgent the trader says it is, officers are advising. And be on guard against unsolicited rogue roofers or tree surgeons offering their services.
The council recommends using a company signed up to the Buy with Confidence scheme.
