Good morning MF, I think this is probably the travellers doing the rounds again. A friend of mine was badly ripped of a couple of years ago, despite us warning her not to accept work from anyone coming to the door. Please everyone be on the lookout and report anything like this to the number that MF has given.

Morning Wayne, I would strongly suggest if you do need this work done to get a reputable person to do these things for you. I would not like you to be ripped of by these cowboys going around. My friend was asked to hand over of a lot of money by them. Despite going to the police and the police knowing who he was, nothing happened as he went away. Probably back to Ireland.
