Susan Kramer MP for Richmond Park

BEWARE THE SUMMER DOOR KNOCKERS CAMPAIGN

Written by SUSAN KRAMER MP on Fri 24th Aug 2007

Susan Kramer MP for Richmond Park has backed a campaign by Trading Standards and The Federation of Master Builders to warn against rogue builders.

Kramer said " Most builders are totally honest, but no reliable builder would knock on someone's door and claim their roof or driveway needed repair."

" Rogue builders fleece people out of £1.36 billion pounds each year. They can be very charming and convincing but at heart they are the worst crooks, preying on the vulnerable especially older people."

A 'Scambusters' leaflet with advice on spotting rogue builders and a sticker to put in the window to warn them off can be requested at www.findabuilder.co.uk/ideas/dorrknockers/index.asp. We have also ordered some copies to be sent to my constituency office(02088 768914) which we can send on to constituents.
