‘SHODDY’ builders who left a partially-sighted and disabled woman with a faulty kitchen extension have until Friday to repay their victim.

York Crown Court heard on Wednesday that Jeremy Paul White, 62, and Robert Montgomery, 39, built an extension that had unsafe electrical cabling, a faulty roof, rising damp and wrongly installed doors and windows.

The pipework would also have flooded the house had it been used.

Recorder Benjamin Nolan QC warned the pair - who operated as Ripon Building Specialists - that they will be re-sentenced if they do not repay £10,000 by Friday.

Mr Nolan said the men should be “ashamed of themselves”.

He said: “The pair of you were running a completely shoddy company and took the complainant for a ride.

“When the two of you were challenged about the unsatisfactory nature of the work, your responses were both unpleasant, uncivil and disturbing.”

In mitigation, the court heard that White had borrowed money to repay the victim and tried to resolve the problems, while Montgomery said he had learnt his lesson.

White, of Hauxwell, Richmond, was given a 13-month prison sentence and Montgomery, of Church Street, Kirby Malzeard, ten-months, both suspended for two years after they admitted aggressive and unprofessional trading.
