Rejected petition Bring in a law to protect the public from dishonest and bad builders

I'm starting this petition as I want people to be protected from bad builders. The one I had left our conservatory unsafe, our garage and porch roofs are still leaking, the rendering fell off the front of our garage, we have rust marks around all windows and doors on the rendering.

More details

What I'd like to be done is a law brought in to stop these rogue traders.

. Ensure all of the rated sites for builders are fully licensed and have honest reviews and are inspected by a Government Inspector yearly
. Builders to obtain a licence and abide by H&S Law
