This , protect yourself from unscrupulous traders. If you need work done on your home or garden, make sure you choose a reputable trader.

Often what can seem like a quick cheap job can become be a lot more work with escalated costs, especially if you don’t use the right person.

Avoid cold callers and never feel pressured into making a decision on your doorstep. You can take their details, close the door, and check them.
This means you can make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed choice.

Try to get three quotes and use a reputable local trader who has been recommended by friends or family or someone who has been vetted by Trading Standards and is part of the Angus Trusted Trader Scheme.
