This is what a "catalogue of misery" left by a shoddy Bristol builder looks like. Simon Robbins left five customers out of pocket to the tune of £184,000, Bristol Crown Court heard. The court was told some work was so bad it left people living in homes which were close to collapse. Robbins, 44, of Goffenton Drive in Fishponds, pleaded guilty to engaging in misleading commercial practice.
The recorder Mr Adam Vaitilingam KC handed him an eight-month jail term, suspended for two years. Robbins was also given a 10-year Criminal Behaviour Order designed to stop reoffending.
