    Anyone get a house call from these guys?

    Being wary of tradespeople cold-calling I brushed them off. I then decided to do some detective work.

    The CRO has no listing for that company, and the landline (Dublin number) that is in their leaflet is disconnected. I presume the mobile number is real.

    There is no landline, Facebook page or anything at all on the internet regarding them.

    Just took a stroll up the estate as they are supposedly doing 3 houses in the estate today and that's why they happened to call around to me, or so they say.

    Surprisingly they're not around :rolleyes:

    Caveat emptor me thinks.

    They're in Arbour Hill area in Dublin today and I don't think they're for real. What decent roofer cleans windows and gutters and then fixes the roof as a sideline? One of them is wearing Coffey Roofing jacket and they have no proper roofing equipment. They didn't even have a bucket for the window cleaning.

    Anyone see Rogue Traders on BBC a few months back. Guys like these in Manchester, and I must stress "like". Not saying they are out to rip anyone off...
