They can advise.  They have no power to prevent you from going about your lawful business, even in a "no cold calling" area.

You can help yourself by being "high profile" - I always wear my uniform, green logo'd cap, green logo'd shirt with green tie, green uniform trousers and if it's cold a green logo'd jacket.  I leaflet first and have my logo on the leaflets along with a photo of me in my uniform.

There's absolutely no doubt who I am when I knock on a door

Sorry to you too

I didn't mean to suggest they can't stop you and question you, of course they can but if you can give a good reason for what you're doing and prove who you are then they can't stop you.

There is no law saying knocking on doors is illegal.
