Keeping Kent Safe

As summer approaches criminals cold call on unsuspecting households offering convincing deals to try to get you to agree to having work carried out. If you accept work from a doorstep criminal you'll pay much more than you intended for very poor, unnecessary and sometimes dangerous work.

Never respond to cold callers! Request a free NO COLD CALLERS door sticker here.

If you need work done on your home or garden use a safe, local trader that's been vetted by Kent Trading Standards.

Report doorstep criminals in your area to Kent Police on 101. If you feel threatened call 999.
