Following a fair amount of damage yesterday via Storm Doris, Wrexham Trading Standards are reminding residents that during periods of bad weather, traders may attempt to use this to their advantage for business.

They said, “Due to the severe windy and blustery weather conditions, residents may notice an increase in trader’s cold calling and/or leafleting for work. Trading Standards would therefore like to remind residents to be especially careful if they need remedial work doing on their homes.

“The important things to remember are; if in doubt keep them out, if you don’t want to do business with the trader don’t let them in.

“Additionally if you find that repairs are needed to your property contact Citizens Advice Service on 08454 04 05 06 for further advice.”
