About this programme

1/7. Dominic Littlewood and Melinda Messenger return to help more homeowners who have been ripped off. They begin with Christophe and Debra Montoya-Timperley, who paid for an extension to their house in St Albans, Hertfordshire - only for the builder to vanish without a trace 12 weeks into the project, having not even dug any foundations. They were subsequently awarded £32,000 in county court, but could not track down the rogue tradesman to get their money back - so Dom sets a trap to lure him out of hiding. Meanwhile, Melinda and her team are faced with an intimidating workload as they try to finish the job the builder left behind.
