Pearl XPS Ltd
I was passed on this information about this firm.
There was a group of door to door salespeople employed by a firm called Pearl XPS Ltd calling at pre war houses in Southend District yesterday (11.7.07) They offer free structural surveys. Anyone daft enough to take up the offer, will then be told by the surveyor that the house is in imminent danger of collapse and can only be saved by being coated. The surveyors are totally unqualified and the coating is as much use as tippex! Scare tactics are a normal part of their sales patter
The firm is known to Trading Standards and is currently under investigation by the DTI Scambuster Squad. Any information re Pearl XPS should be passed to Consumer Direct who are collating sightings, etc.
Please advise members of NW to be on their guard against this type of cold calling, not to sign any documentation they may be offered and under no circumstances to allow salespeople into their homes. Once in, the salespeople will not leave until the householder has signed on the dotted line.
According to the Companies House record, Pearl XPS was known as Anduraguard in 2006; and Wallcote in 2005. They also trade as Mosaic, which was featured on the BBC Watchdog programme
