⚠️ SCAM COLD CALLERS ⚠️
It’s come to our attention that residents in Cayton were targeted last year by a company from Manchester offering “energy efficiency improvements.”
One of our customers was told their heating system was “full of sludge” and urgently needed a magnetic filter fitting.
The reality?
👉 We had already installed the manufacturer’s own filter back in 2022.
👉 The cold callers removed it and replaced it with a Magnaclean filter worth around £100.
👉 The customer was charged a shocking £1100.
Unfortunately, older and vulnerable homeowners are often targeted by these scare tactics.
Please take a few minutes to speak with elderly relatives, friends, and neighbours about the dangers of dealing with cold callers — whether at the door or over the phone.
✔️ Always use trusted local engineers
✔️ Never feel pressured into agreeing to work on the spot
