Suspected Rogue Trader Activity - Barn Road, Handsacre

At approximately 2:00 pm on Wednesday 11th November, a roofing company attended a property on Barn Road, Handsacre.

It is alleged that an individual associated with the company removed a roof tile from the property without the owner's knowledge or permission. As a result, damage was caused to the underlying roofing felt beneath the tile.

Following the incident, the 2 individuals reportedly approached the occupant and offered to replace the removed roof tile free of charge. However, they advised that repairs to the damaged roofing felt would incur a charge.

The circumstances have raised concerns that the damage may have been intentionally caused in order to generate repair work.
