Cowboy Builders

Series 6 - Episode 4: Solihull

To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed.

This week, Mel and Dom head to the West Midlands and meet Solihull single mum Jamuna who spent £11,000 on extending her home to accommodate her seriously ill mother. The local builder she hired was hardly ever on site, and eight weeks into the build he was dismissed, leaving behind a half-finished extension riddled with structural problems. Melinda and her team have their work cut out trying to fix the mess.

Meanwhile, Dom tracks down the man responsible, only to discover the cowboy builder has been using a string of aliases and trading names in an effort to cover up his dubious working record.

i worked on the house and plastered the kitchen, some of the work done by the cowboys was a shocker and the cracks that had appeared upstairs were very unnerving, fair play to channel and the team for helping this person, i was really glad to help even though i never met the woman
