DODGY window cleaners are being targeted in a fresh crackdown in Dumfries and Galloway.
Householders and traders are being reminded to check the credentials of window cleaners in a bid to protect themselves against unlicensed cowboys.
PC Audrey Johnstone told the Standard: “Licensed window cleaners are required to carry a photographic license at all times when working and people should verify this.”
All licensed window cleaners must have Public Liability Insurance and be licensed with the council under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982. If they fail to do so they could face prosecution.
Licensing Standards officer Richard Graham said: “The aim of licensing is to safeguard the public and ensure that anyone working as a window cleaner is a fit and proper person to do so.”
