Call You & Yours: What's your experience of getting building work done?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

On today's Call You & Yours we want to hear from you about getting construction work done on your house. The government is promising a new register of trusted traders, which builders will sign up for. They'll have to meet certain standards to be part of it, and agree to have a new ombudsman to act as a mediator during disputes. There's also a new payments app - where customer's money is protected as building work goes on, and released to the business as certain milestones are reached. But will it actually protect consumers from shoddy work? What's your experience of getting building work done? Call us from 11am on 03700 100 444. Or email us at youandyours@bbc.co.uk PRESENTER: SHARI VAHL PRODUCER: LYDIA THOMAS
