His shoddy and unfinished work cost homeowners more than £1 million.
A botched kitchen job that Nicholls' clients were left with.
The case centred on his role as a builder in London, leaving homeowners with a string of unfinished extensions and shoddy home improvement projects, across Southwark and beyond, from 2016 to 2018. The estimated loss to eleven victims was more than £1.1 million – including the cost of putting his bodged work right. Nicholls admitted four charges – one of fraud and three of fraudulent trading.
The same client had to spend a further £150,000 to correct and complete Nicholls’ work, because the foundations laid were only half the depth they needed to be. Analysis of his bank records carried out by council financial investigators, showed that he had used £52,000 received from customers for online gambling purposes.
“I would describe dealing with Richard as the darkest period in our married life and one we’ll never forget. What upset me almost more than being conned was the total lack of remorse from Richard. He blamed everyone but himself and then disappeared.” “I congratulate our trading standards officers for their determination in bringing this man to justice and thank all involved in the investigation.”
