A rogue roofer who "bullied" a vulnerable man and charged him for shoddy roofing work has been put behind bars.
Kenan Samme attempted to charge the man more than four times the price he’d quoted for roof repair work. The 24-year-old had turned up to the man's home in Newton Hall, County Durham in February 2021 and told him he needed repairs carrying out on his roof.
When the victim asked if the repairs were really needed, Samme and an associate told him the tiles could fall off and hurt someone before quoting him £180 to carry out the work. The next month, Samme, trading as Premier Home Improvements, called the man and threatened to report him to the council if he didn’t agree to have the work done.
