Don't know what a rogue trader is...
If you mean an "unlicensed" person...that's the "You get what you pay for" situation.
Now, if you're saying he completely screwed-up, the way to *help* prevent that in future is to let him know that you will pay him upon satisfactory completion of the work, and it passes all inspections from the City/State/etc.
If you have access to H&G TV, watch "Holmes on Homes"...he's been in the industry for decades, and has been know to almost become physically ill at the stupidity some supposedly licensed and experieced contractors have done - intentionally or no - to unsuspecting and unknowing home owners.
In any case...best wishes at obtaining your money back.

I would say that a" rouge" trader would deal with the beauty industry. to let him/her loose on building work would be a mistake on anyone's part. Now if he was a "rogue"trader, then seek advice from the C.A.B.. They should inform you where you stand legally,and how to pursue the matter of reclaiming money.I have never been unlucky in this matter. however, if I have work done, the tradesman,s name has been given to me by people who he/she has done satisfactory work for. Pick a complete stranger, and you could have problems.
