Cowboy builder turns family home into a building site after charging £57k

A family who paid out £57,000 to a rogue builder have spoken of their relief after he was jailed. Claire and Dave Eddon were horrified when their builder, Chris Williams, vanished after just two weeks of work, following which barely any progress was made. For months, Williams blamed poor weather, cashflow, illness, and unreliable tradesmen, but has now been caught by police, for one theft and three charges of fraud.
