I found this on the beach today and what wondering if anyone has seen one before, I reckon it’s a tooth and if it is, what does it belong to? I tried to do a google image search and it didn’t really give me a definitive answer.

This is to keep a track here from the community of trusted vs suspicious traders, incl. for roofing or anythin in Aberdeen, shire and NE Scotland. Community reports show rising roofing scams and rogue traders in the region, so that's why I'm making this post as a community watch on what's happening.

I'll start with listing a few that based on what others told me, to be wary of. I can't tell you for sure. Check everything when making your decisions.

There's some peeps going round using VERY similar names to other roofing company names and collecting their good reviews. Some are V good at being convincing and building trust.

The basic advice from the officials is:

* Never part with cash or give in to high pressure demands.

* Use word of mouth or a trusted source like Aberdeen trusted trader scheme

Aberdeen roofing and traders neighbourhood watch

As roofing schemes rise across the country, let's start a neighbourhood watch, as at some point we may need a tile fixed or our roofing replaced. So go on share your experiences here of what you have heard are good or bad, and who to avoid.

I'll list a couple I've heard from people to AVOID or be WARY OF, so decide for yersel:

Skyshield roofing and services (skyshield roofing & services ltd) not to be confused with another company 'sky shield roofing' who put out a warning about a company using their name

Tip Top Roofing NES Ltd (not to be confused with tip top roofing or tip top building services or similar sounding companies)

W Homes Outdoor Sealing

Fencing NI & Landscaping Ltd

So I can't tell you for sure but there may be multiple operating. I can't share the stories in full from my contacts as I can't rly verify myself. I checked the above out of interest and they appear to be using very similar names to other companies. Make your own decisions but use caution, especially if ye hear from the above.

Go ahead comment here on the list any suspicious activity from companies and list ones that are trusted and how they did. So like as a community report any scams or suspicious activity below for north and east Scotland. Also tell us good traders to use you think be trustworthy.

Cheers
