Roofing Scammers Con Homeowners Out of Thousands of Pounds
Citizens Advice reports that one in ten scams involve fraudulent roofers charging for incomplete, unnecessary, or poorly executed work. Victims are often pressured by aggressive doorstep tactics or online offers, leaving them with damaged homes and severe financial distress. Elderly and vulnerable residents are frequently targeted because roofs are difficult to inspect from the ground. Authorities urge consumers to verify credentials, get quotes in writing, and remain vigilant against unsolicited contractors.
