I've just had three guys call to the door that offered to clean my gutters. One of them got upon the roof and started pulling out the tiles while I was watching. He offered to do a "proper" job for €150. They had a professional looking brochure which said they were in the Golden Pages. They also had a landline number and a mobile number but no address on the flyer. They also had shirts with their company name on it. They looked a professional outfit except they did not have any logo on their company van, a blue Transit.
I couldn't believe how quick they were to get up on the roof and start pulling out the tiles before I could say anything. I told them to get down and I wanted somebody else to have a look at the roof. They started saying that "The boss won't like that" and were fairly intimidating.
I notice these guys come out in the hot weather when people have their windows open so if the neighbours see men up ladders they wont get suspicious after all they are only cleaning the gutters and they called in earlier.
I called the Gardaí but they didn't seem that interested although they took the reg number of the van.
