A couple who paid a building firm more than £27k to renovate their house say they're still without a roof and front door 10 months later. Matt and Allison Brown from Machen in Caerphilly hired a company called K Construct last May to build them a front porch and a rear extension - a job they were told would only last four to six weeks.
The pair claim that they've been left 'living on a building site', surrounded by unfinished and unsafe work, having forked out almost all the £30,345 total they were initially quoted. They added that they feel abandoned by the firm (which is not related to a company of the same name based in London) and its Cardiff-based project manager Darryl Kavanagh, who disputes the allegations.
Not only that but the family cite the situation as having had a huge impact on their mental health. In particular, their 24-year-old autistic son is said to have been left 'confused and bewildered' by the ongoing situation.
