Why this page exists
Doorstep and phone scams targeting tenants are common, so if someone saying they're from DIFY has been in touch about a repair at your property, it's sensible to want to check who that actually is.
DIFY is a genuine one-person maintenance business, working directly on instruction from your letting agent — not a cold caller, and not a subcontractor chain. The insurance and DBS check above are real and current.
Still not sure? Contact your letting agent directly to confirm a visit or a message before letting anyone in. A legitimate maintenance visit will always check out.
