Rogue Builder Gets 8 Months After Victims Find Nightclub Cash Photos

Trading Standards pursued the prosecution after police initially treated the case as a civil dispute.

Overview

  • Jason Brice, trading as Creo Creations, pleaded guilty to three Consumer Protection offences at Bristol Crown Court and was jailed for eight months.
  • He abandoned a 2022 loft conversion for Jaime and Noah Fagan that was meant to support their two teenage sons with special needs, leaving the home unsafe.
  • The couple say they paid £38,500 for work that was not completed and later faced about £20,000 in repairs plus £29,500 to finish what they had already funded.
  • The Fagans located Brice after seeing dated social‑media images of him partying at Popworld in Bristol and at a Somerset holiday site while he claimed time off.
  • Trading Standards identified at least two other victims, and Judge Martin Picton highlighted the financial and emotional damage Brice caused to multiple families.
