Virgo Home Improvements AVOID

Im not sure if this is the right forum but beware of Bradford based firm Virgo Home Improvements.

They cold called on my grandmother, 78 and quoted her £7000 for about 40 meters of guttering on a semi detatched. The sales man pressured her into paying a £900 deposit! Luckily we managed to put a stop to the cheque and cancelled all work with this company before the due to start date! We called a friend who has a local guttering firm who is doing the whole job for about 1/4 of the price my grandmother paid for the deposit to these scammers!

AVOID AT ALL COST

Im also going to report them to Trading Standards!
