Woman who spent £50k on renovation left with 'ripped-out' kitchen and exposed wires

A woman has slammed the "horrendous" state of her house after spending more than £50,000 on building work. Lisa Morris hired a company called Eva-Lution to renovate her Llanharan home but the work abruptly stopped last November and she claims she is facing a large repair bill.

Ms Morris inherited the house from her father and stepmother in 2021 after they were fatally hit by a motorbike while walking. She paid Eva-Lution £52,900 for work including a kitchen extension — but she claims her kitchen has been left with exposed wires, bare brick walls and no ceiling. "They have left me with no kitchen, having ripped the previous kitchen out," she alleged.

The 50-year-old IT worker said the stress has hit her hard while dealing with the loss of her father and stepmother. "What makes it worse is that it's their house. I was renovating it with money my dad had gifted me shortly before he passed away. The house was all I had left of them. I'm emotionally and physically exhausted — this has consumed my life for months. I took time off work but I've had to go back because I can't afford not to work, with the situation I'm in."
