Newcastle dad's four-year conservatory 'nightmare' after wife's terminal disease diagnosis

A dad whose wife is suffering from a terminal illness has been battling for FOUR YEARS to get their conservatory fixed.

When Stephen Stafford's wife Jen was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, they realised they would need to turn the living room of their home in Great Park, Newcastle, into her bedroom. The couple, who are parents to Paige, 12, and Cohen, five, decided to get a conservatory built so they could use the extra space as a living room.

Stephen, 37, and Jen, 38, spent £22,023.10 to have a conservatory built by local home improvement company Pennine. Stephen claims they were mis-sold by the Benton -based company and have had nothing but issues with the structure for the last four years.
