Energy companies have agreed to respect 'No Cold Calling signs' and are agreeing not to knock on doors where such a sign is displayed. It is important to note that you must have a sign with the words 'No Cold Calling' on it for this to apply at your property. A colleague has forwarded me over some more concise details about this. The website Money Saving Expert has a version of a sign that can be printed off that they have created. Alternatively, if you do not like this design or would prefer different wording you can create your own sign - it doesn't have to be anything flashy as long as it states 'No Cold Calling' on it.
Unfortunately, at present this rule has only been adopted by the main energy companies but it is a start and hopefully over time other companies will follow.

No Cold Callers.
EnergySure code of practice now officially includes rules that state energy company sales staff should not knock on any door that displays a ‘no cold callers' sign.
If the energy companies' sales staff break this rule you can complain to the Energy Ombudsman.
If you display a sign and the energy companies disobey your wishes note down the employee name and number and report this to their company and Consumer Direct on: 08454 04 05 06
If you would like a free ‘no cold callers' display sign for your door you can print one from
