Black Hatted Cowboys

£10.50

The story of two men who take deadly action against cowboy builders. Laurence Howard is told by police that his mother and father have been killed and his sister seriously injured in an explosion at their home, caused by a gas leak because his father had, against Howard’s advice, used an unqualified builder to replace his gas boiler.

Description

The building and repair work carried out by dangerously incompetent and unscrupulous builders, often known as ‘cowboys,’ is widely reported in newspapers and investigations into their nefarious activities are popular and thought-provoking television documentaries. This publicity helps to warn the unwary of the misery, unjustifiable costs and even death that can result by employing unskilled building workers to carry out improvements and, often-unnecessary, repairs to their homes. The cowboy builder will always ask for ‘cash-up-front’ before he starts to work. Later, he will ask for more cash, because he ‘underestimated’ the work and material needed to finish the job’. If the householder is unable or unwilling to part with more money, the cowboy will leave the property in such a state that it is an unsafe dwelling.
