I had cowboy builders here a couple of years ago who literally said that they were going to build me a new attic.
00:10
They had all the stuff in front of them. Obviously it was not even legal.
00:14
One said he was an electrician and it turned out he wasn't. They come and smashed my wall down.
00:19
I think probably there needs to be more legislation and registration for builders and building companies
00:25
whereby they have to be held accountable to a certain standard.
00:29
I don't think in any other job you'd be able to run around saying that you're going to do something if you can't do it to the correct standard.
00:35
I don't know what the solution is but perhaps there needs to be more legislation and policing of those companies
00:42
to make sure that things are being done to an appropriate standard.
00:45
Literally came to me for thousands and I had to really fight to get anything sorted.
00:52
You see so many programmes, especially like the older people are, it's absolutely disgraceful.
00:58
But there's nothing that can stop them.
