if you bought a car, or some industrial equipment, you would expect it to be repossessed. Why should a person who doesn't pay for building work get away with it? As far as I can see the builder went through the proper legal channels after attempting unsuccessfully to obtain payment. It appears he even gave her extra time to pay out of sympathy for her fictional bereavement 
If he had given up the woman would have had her porch for nothing and been laughing at him. Why should she get away with it?
A lot of contracts have a term in them that the goods belong to the seller until they have been paid for, which makes repossession much simpler. If you have a look at the back of your supplier merchants' order forms and delivery notes you will probably find it. I have some small experience of dealing with non-paying customers. On one occasion I visited a client's office to arrange repossession and found it wasn't there. Not the client, the office . He hadn't paid his rent and the landlord had got a possession order and knocked it down for redevelopment.
