I foolishly answered the door this evening and was then sweet-talked by a pleasant young woman offering a free "exterior assessment", to be arranged over the phone. I even gave her my name and phone number. It seems, in retrospect, that this is some sort of scam (I am now kicking myself). Certainly I have now found comments about this being a scam on other community groups, indeed they were the top results when googling "Red Ball Marketing". Does anyone know quite what the scam is? Is it simply trying to get one to sign up for unnecessary building work or rather something more sinister?

yours worriedly!?

wasn't pushy - he was quite nice for random sales person


i asked him how his company made their revenue

he said that they booked commission from construction companies who would come round and fix asthetic or structural problems with a house


scam or not, i dont know anyone who'd consider employing someone who randomly goes round people's houses on a friday night to drum up business... weirdo

      Paul Edgley - Highly Recommended Electrician

      By S Dearden · Posted

      Had a great experience with Paul. He sorted out a lighting issue we had very efficiently and I would highly recommend him! https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/edgleycontracting382245

      Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By rollflick · Posted

      A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
