Gwent Gazette
|May 29, 2025
A BUILDER has been ordered to pay more than £9,000 in compensation after leaving a gas hob unconnected for more than a month and not adhering to building regulations.
On April 9 at Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates' Court, Harry Nixon, trading as HDH Building and Maintenance of Merthyr Tydfil, pleaded guilty to offences against trading standards legislation in a case brought by the trading standards service.
Nixon received fines for carrying out works which did not comply with professional diligence in his trade, for unregistered gas works, and not adhering to building regulations.
He was ordered to pay £9,400 compensation to the customer.
Nixon was contracted to rectify a damp issue along one wall of a kitchen.
This escalated to three walls which had plaster removed, damp-proofing applied to the interior of the walls, plaster boarding, and plastering.
In the process, the kitchen units were removed including a gas hob, which was left disconnected for more than a month as works progressed.
