BBC1's COWBOY TRAP is back for a 2nd series and needs your bad builders stories.

I would love to regale you with all the stories I have of builders doing a bad job (and I have plenty of them) but sadly I am married to him and he may get annoyed. Wish me luck in my ongoing DIY quest ...

Jonathan P Walker COWBOY BUILDER

This person is the worst, he traded as REEF Homes and built unsafe houses, the last one took 140,000 to put right, this is borne out by the litigation, the out of court settlement and the planning officer of Beverley in East Yorkshire.
He has since changed his name to Moorcroft (Lund) Ltd and building the same unsafe properties as he did before. He will be caught again but he just changes his company and moves on. He has connections in the Council as he was a council Leader and his family take turns to hold that position (his uncle is now in that position) his family are the biggest landowners and his wife has the Nursery also in the village, also the Beverley council keep giving him planning permission, so something is wrong there as well.
Please can you help as someone will get hurt of even killed if he is not stopped, I have tried but the village council under the family control override it.

I had some really bad and very similar experience. What I would advise in order to avoid that is making some really good research before hiring a service. There are plenty of scams out there.
