How best to screw over business who ripped off my Mum
Discussion
Someone mentioned Gumtree - just put their number on various sales posts that would encourage people to call. You know: iPhone 6s, unwanted gift, £85, or John Lewis vouchers £50, will sell for £25.
I know someone who had a practical joke played on him. Car put on Gumtree at 50% of going rate, ad posted on Christmas Eve, saying he was leaving the country on Boxing Day so had to sell car. His phone was quite busy Christmas Day.

I think sadly the morons who rip people off like your poor mum frankly couldn't give a hoot about what you do or don't do.
However
1. Are they on rated trader or the good quality builder type list? If so reporting to them might have them struck off and thus mean a reduction in number of people who use them.
2. Local press are always interested in such stories - could harm their future trade
3. Gossip girls/social media another way to raise the red flag about a previous dispicable incident.
4. Trading standards might want to know.
5. Do he have a nice car? Can you get your hands on some old brake fluid and then pour the whole contents into one of those cheap spray garden fence painters. Find his car away from others then introduce his whole car to said old brake fluid - he might like the bare metal look but I've a sneaking suspicion that only a tiny minority do and would choose to do so on their terms.
A waterballoon filled with old brake fluid thrown onto his pride and joy equally good.
6. Front up. Pop round to his house for a 121 chat
7. If you have the time see if you can film him ripping off another innocent victim.
But as another person has said would the stress to your mum and you be worth it? Some scrote has ripped your mum off, that cannot be undone why not a nice long weekend away to Jersey etc?

Send gliiter letter bomb, happened to me and I didnt even do nuffin.
Frankly I would keep it legal as tempted as I would be to go and give him a smack.
Get another builder to do a report on what has been done wrong and what should have been charged then go the Small Claims Court, tell the police of the potential risks to your mum.

tie their shoelaces together? Clingfilm on the toilet seat?
take a picture of his vehicle and then report to the local facebook busybody pages for the local area "I saw this vehicle and it looked like it stopped to talk to schoolgirls. If you see again, REPORT TO THE POLICE!! They wont do anything yet as nobody has been abducted, but we must stop him before someone does go missing!!
Then mention Maddie McCann, don't approach, dangerous man, Be safe out there everyone! Anyone wanna buy some aloe vera etc etc
(then get someone else to reply saying their cat went missing on the same day. Double whammy...) Facebook is your friend.

I am not suggesting that you do the following!
Get a large envelope and put a flier of some sort into it. Go to fishing shop and get some maggots. Put the maggots into the envelope. When there is nobody at home, post the envelope through his letterbox.
Within 10 minutes the maggots will have completely disappeared underneath carpets, rugs etc.
A week to 10 days later the house will be filled with bluebottels, which will continue to appear for about another week.

Sorry to hear this is happening, not fun when people are ripping vunerable people off.
I'd recommend letting the court case complete, waiting a while then serving your chosen dish, cold.

It will all be legal and above board. But I am going to destroy them.
HSE breaches, especially when working at height like builders do can be an easy win & mount up quick . Not the big stuff, simple breaches can cost £250+vat/each if you get bubbled. Hard hats with no chin straps, inadequate and or incorrectly positioned segregation barriers, out of date inspections on PPE or site equipment & tools. When you inspect teams it can cost a fortune as they are all usually stupid enough to be doing the same thing. PPE is the easiest wins but my personal favourite is getting equipment red tagged as it stops the smug f

Agree with the post a few above, burner phone and lots of appointments made to random addresses. Will eventually make them have to decide to keep taking the loss, work out a solution to check, or change phone number. Strangely its unlikely they will choose option 2 which is pretty much the only option that would work.
