Incompetent, negligent, over-priced, runaway ‘cowboy’ builders can cause real concern. Such people often operate on the premise of finding unsuspecting homeowners in need of work doing to their house, taking their money and disappearing.

Using Cobra to recover your money from a rogue trader is guaranteed to be the best decision you make.
Here’s why:
How to Spot a Cowboy Builder
There are a number of warning signs and red flags that could inform your opinion of a suspected rogue trader who absolutely shouldn’t be trusted.
Be cautious of a builder who:
- Refuses to give you their details
If a builder refuses to give you his details, then they are making it almost impossible to reach them should they disappear. Also, if they refuse to provide any references, they could be hiding something.
In essence, many people just take rogue traders at their word when they claim to be a part of a company or organisation. Don’t!
- Has Uncomfortable Financial Practices
Be aware of builders who provide estimates which are much lower than any other builders. This may be because they have no intention of sticking to this price or even doing the work.
Furthermore, be careful of builders who only accept cash or don’t charge VAT.
- In a Rush to Start or Finish Work
When a builder is desperate to start work, they simply want to get their money as quickly as possible and run.
Whilst it’s amazing to find a builder who can begin work quickly, if you feel like you’re being rushed into a decision then take a step back, it could be a sign that something is wrong.
