A roofer who ripped off more than a dozen people with work that made their issues worse has been jailed. Jamie Smith admitted defrauding 15 householders in the South West to the tune of £117, 740, Bristol Crown Court heard.
The court was told he sometimes caused damage to rooves himself. And on one occasion, when told he wouldn't be paid, he threatened to smash tiles he had fixed.
Smith, 36, of Kerrow Lane, Stenalees in St Austell, Cornwall, pleaded guilty to fraudulent trading between January 2018 and August 2020. Judge James Patrick jailed him for three years and three months.
