RESIDENTS of Warminster have been given a warning about rogue traders operating in the town.

Wiltshire Trading Standards says they have been seen made cold calls on homes in the Pound Street area.

A spokesman said: “We have received a report of males cold calling in Pound Street, Warminster, trying to get work by telling people their roofs needed urgent repairs. Fortunately one householder contacted us for advice before agreeing to any work.

“The business is using the name SWS Roofing and Building Ltd. Simple checks made by us show their website was only set up on 18th September 2019 and their address - 51 Pinfold Street, Birmingham B2 4AY - is a mailbox address.

There is no company number on their website, which is a legal requirement, and Companies House has no record of a business with this name. All the hallmarks of a rogue trader.

“Please do not engage with this business if they knock on your door!
