I asked to see their business card or manager's number and they said they didn't have those details. They were down from Birmingham for the day staying in an AirB&B trying to get business. I said that seems a long way to come for such a job and he said "It's ok mate don't worry I make £1000 a week"

Anybody else had similar cold calling?
Wouldn't know. I have a polite notice on my door:-
'If you're a cold caller, kindly feck off'

The alleged £1k a week he's making, is a sign that you're being fleeced for his benefit.
