North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for trading standards, Cllr Greg White, said: “Householders should be able to trust contractors they employ to safeguard any monies paid to them for materials and to complete the job in line with the specification and any Building Regulations or other safety requirements.
“Whilst it is understandable that contractors are finding the increasing costs of building materials difficult to manage, consumers are entitled to rely on the quotation they have been given and any contract agreed. “I would urge any tradesperson to be upfront with customers about any difficulties at the earliest opportunity.”
The Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline is the national reporting centre for consumers who need advice or would like to report concerns about building works to trading standards.
