They are specifically looking for older properties (194os / 50s) and people who want to hear about the report.

I did a quick check on the web and unfortunately I have to report that they have featured on BBC Watchdog and been reported for trading standards for strong arm sales tactics targeted at older / vulnerable people.

Our advice is to avoid them.

If you are concerned about the exterior state of your building best to get 2-3 quotes from reputable companies registered with a governing body such as the Federation of Master Builders.

You have been warned!
