A rogue builder who used false names to advertise has been jailed for two years.
John Ward, 35, provided homeowners with false information about who he was and then carried out the work to such a poor standard that his victims then had to pay other tradesmen to finish his work or carry out repairs from damage he had caused.
Ward, of Moorland Road, Burnley, Lancashire, pleaded guilty to one count of participating in fraudulent business and one count of breaching a criminal behaviour order.
