We have been made aware of people cold calling at the door of residents in Kilmarnock offering fire safety checks claiming to be from East Ayrshire Council.

It is our advice that homeowners do not engage with cold callers who offer to conduct these checks unless a prior appointment has been made.

If the employee is legitimate they will show their ID badge and be happy to wait until you contact East Ayrshire Council to confirm who they are.
