Offering Cheap Repairs 

Council has been informed that there are ‘contractors’ in Moree offering cheap driveways/repairs with ‘leftover hot bitumen’ from Council work.  Residents should be very cautious if they are approached by people offering this type of work via a door-to-door approach. Council suggests that any resident approached and offered services like this collects whatever details can be safely obtained and report the matter to NSW Fair Trading by calling 13 32 20 or lodging a complaint online.

NSW homeowners should ask for a tradesperson's licence and check the business name and ABN before they agree to a contract and pay any money. Consumers can verify a tradesperson’s details online by visiting the Verify.licence website and check a business name and ABN on the Australian Business Register.
