ITV are looking to talk to people about dishonest or incompetent tradespeople
Have you been a victim of dishonest or incompetent tradespeople?
Has your property been left in a mess by dodgy contractors?
ITV are currently looking for people from the North West to take part in a new programme that aims to investigate cases for people who have suffered at the hands of useless or sneaky tradespeople such as builders, roofers, electricians etc.
If you or someone you know would like our help or more information, please contact me at [email protected] or by phone on 0161 952 0609.

Re: ITV are looking to talk to people about dishonest or incompetent tradespeople
I'm sure we've all had problems with tradespeople at one time or another. But tell me, are you also going to contribute to this website, Clare, or is this a one-off visit?

Re: ITV are looking to talk to people about dishonest or incompetent tradespeople
There has been a show ? on TV earlier this year following a dodgy roofer around Accrington.
It showed his face, van, phone number, name and an interview with him.
I wonder if he gets much work? Probably changed his works name by now.

What does it matter, she is hoping to catch out some dodgy tradespeople that might help protect the rest of us?
It's quite obvious that no she wont be a regular contributor but hopefully some good might come of it.

Re: ITV are looking to talk to people about dishonest or incompetent tradespeople
if she comes back she might be well advised to visit the hyndburn chat group on facebook as well
not using this as an excuse to promote the group its a genuine suggestion for a good cause
im going to look on facebook in the selling groups theres a couple who are going around the area ripping people off using a carpet buisness .Shoddy work or taking money and legging it etc

We don't have to wait for her to come back. There's no reason why we can't copy the details over to Hyndburn Chat.

Re: ITV are looking to talk to people about dishonest or incompetent tradespeople
good point lol
sadly because of how fast facebook moves i can no longer find peoples warnings about the dodgy carpet sellers/fitters
all i can remember is that the husband got done for driving while on a ban or something and they linked the warning to a telegraph article relating to the person doing the con work

Found it! See Hyndburn Chat, "Dave Mac shared Lisa Houlgrave's photo to the group", June 22 9.27pm. The link to the Telegraph article is also there.
