Last nightsepisode was a complete bodge by the so called builder. There was one point though. Is expanding foam no classed as insulation ??

High time some enterprising tv channel did a program about rogue customers. Lets have Dominic whassisname chasing them round town in his Ford Fiesta and asking them when their going to pay the poor builder/plasterer/joiner/etc they have suckered in.

The best use for expanding foam would be to fill Dominic's poxy mouth up with it

And to think that you admit watching it/him on a public forum

Dominic has had programmes about cutting down prices for goods then has a programme for bad workmanship.

The 2 don't mix.

There was a website flying around a few years ago, designed to name and shame rogue customers.
Cant for life remember it though.If anyone can, then please enlighten us.
Think it was started by the guy that ripped down the porch he put up in worthing/brighton way

Yeah you are right perhaps we should look up to higher profile people in the community, like: Bankers, Politicians and even celebrity chefs!

There are dodgy people in all walks of life but this industry seems to have a higher amount than most

Most likely because many people come to them when they have a problem they don't know how to fix I.e leak, damp etc so they are ripe for exploitation or old and vulnerable

Still its not too hard to avoid get reccomendations and at least 3 quotes
