We had a visit on 14/05/13 from a dubious company, think they are the same people who went by the names Red Ball, ROCKEX-HP, etc.

This time the offer is to do roof insulation, etc. They go by the name of Eco-Homes Consultants and appeared to follow up the Government led grants/energy saving initiative many Lewisham residents took part in a while ago - free loft/radiator/boiler insulation etc.

They flag up the current government initiative - the Green Deal process. However their offer is to first do insulation work, as recommended by them, then have an 'energy performance certificate' with advice on possible further work (mentioned 'solid wall insulation - sound familiar?) re. the Green Deal.

They offered to send two workmen to do the work the next day. It would cost £399 for the work + £50 for certificate with advice for further work/Green Deal .

This rep said their website was Eco-Homes Consultants.co.uk. I googled the name and there is a website for Ecohomes Consultants who have a statement naming this other company and disassociating themselves from them, also stating that they do not use a direct sales approach.

I notified Lewisham Trading Standards who annoyingly said I should complain to Citizens Advice who might then pass it on to them. I have done this and am waiting for a response.

Regarding the previous scams during that time, I was informed by a rep from Lewisham Trading Standards that they needed several notifications from several different people before they consider action. Therefore if any of this is applicable to you, perhaps you could make a formal complaint.
