In total Theobald took almost £30,000 from victims for jobs he never started or didn’t complete.
He was jailed for three years after targeting a large number of victims spread over a wide area including Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and London.
The roof repairs and home improvements were often defective, leaving some customers with many thousands of pounds in remedial costs.
The hearing was told of nine separate cases in which Theobald, 30, had responded to tenders for work, mainly on website Rated People.
Theobald, of Seathwaite Road, King’s Lynn, had been committed for sentence on two matters.
At earlier hearings he had pleaded guilty to carrying on a business for fraudulent purposes between 2017 and 2020 – a prosecution brought by Norfolk County Council’s trading standards department.
