A 90-year-old pensioner from Leeds says a contractor built a bedroom extension that is too small, leaving her bed unable to fit. According to reports, she spent about £36,000 of her life savings to commission a 5x3-metre extension, which was intended to include a functioning wet room. She alleges the builder made the room approximately 12 inches smaller than agreed, creating the problem with the bed’s placement. As a result, she says she is now facing the prospect of having to remove the existing structure and rebuild it so the layout meets her needs. The accounts describe her situation as a major disruption and additional expense following the completion of the work. The reports do not provide further details on the builder’s response or whether any formal complaint, inspection, or dispute resolution has been carried out, but they focus on the alleged measurement error and its impact on the extension’s usability.
