What We’ve Seen

“A builder finished a full extension, but the client withheld the final payment claiming ‘changes’ that were never agreed. The builder lost thousands in labour and materials.”

“A decorator was asked to buy paint and materials up front. After the first day, the client cancelled and refused to reimburse costs, leaving the tradesperson out of pocket.”

“An electrician carried out emergency repairs. The client promised immediate payment but disappeared — phone blocked, address fake. Work was done, but the money never arrived.”
