One intends that they made him feel unsafe.

Now, we should point out in these citizens advice data, it has been extrapolated.

So it's really hard to put a precise figure on it.

But they've really sounded the alarm over this.

And some of the areas in which they're really pointing out where people are ending up with shoddy work includes energy efficiency improvements, room renovations, installation and external walls and roofing projects.

Our external walls and roofing projects, if something goes wrong in one of those kind of areas, you are talking about big bills.

And what citizens of Wales have pointed out here as well, and this is something I've thought about for many, many years.

is it's actually there isn't much oversight there isn't much of a regulatory body that looks at an area that's actually quite a key consumer area it found more than four and five or five thousand people it served that surveyed so they faced barriers when trying to resolve a complaint about shoddy home repairs or other related problems one in five said the process took a long time 16 said the trader ignored them and 15 said they didn't know how to escalate the issue beyond the trainer um

At present, the dispute resolution, after complaining to the tradesperson, is totally voluntary, requires thrupting, it limits routes, and it makes disputes hard to solve.

And he wants the government to review how the home repair sector is regulated, including introducing mandatory licensing and widening access to redress.

The charity said a single register for traders would help raise standards across the market and better protect homeowners.

I think this is quite an important thing.

It's one of those things that...

I think we've all probably had it in the past where you do want something done, you need something done, and trying to find someone you trust, it can be the Wild West.

It really can be the Wild West.

And while we're in an era of way more information at our fingertips than ever before in terms of reviews and all of that kind of thing, reviews can be manipulated.

You can't just trust absolutely everything verbatim that you are reading reviews

But as I said right at the start of this segment, there are a lot of good tradespeople out there that work incredibly hard.

Word of mouth from someone that you really trust can be crucial.

Take your time.
