Council housing repairs and maintenance
All Morgan Sindall staff, operatives and sub-contractors carry appropriate identification identifying them as employees of Morgan Sindall working on behalf of Basildon Council, and they will be willing to hand over their ID for closer inspection. 
Do not be embarrassed or afraid to ask someone claiming to be a Morgan Sindall representative to wait outside or to call you back later. If you are in any doubt at all you should phone Basildon Council on 01268 533333 to confirm that the caller is who they say they are.
