Advice to Avoid the Roof Repair Rogue Traders That Want to Rip Off People in Victoria.

1.    If a roofer knocks your door offering to repair your roof, be alarmed because most professional roofing companies do not have door to door salesmen, always ask for identification and a permanent local telephone number, most rogue traders will operate on cheap throw away mobile telephones, if they don’t have a permanent land line then they are probably not a local roofing contractor.

2.    Go online and search their business name, if they have no online presence no website or Google listings then again be alarmed as they are probably not who they say they are.

3.    If you find the business listed online then ring the number and speak to someone at the business before engaging their services. This is because rogue traders will often use the business names of real roof leak repair companies, if you call the business and they are not aware of a door to door salesman then close the door on him and call Consumer Affairs and or Crime Stoppers immediately.

4.    When online search for their business name and reviews like this “Roof Dentist Melbourne Reviews” this way you will see all the reviews that this particular business has online, if they have no online reviews then search roof leak repairs Melbourne and look for genuine roofing contractors with reviews, the best roof repair services will have review stars next to their listing which shows that they are a rated local roofing company.

5.    If a person posing as a roofing professional asks you to pay in cash then beware, a proper roofing contractor would never do this, they will have a variety of ways for you to pay and would never ask that you pay for your roof repairs in cash.

6.     Watch out if a roofer asks you to pay in advance of having works done, this is a real sign of a fly by night rogue trader.
