If you ever needed a reminder of what NOT to do on site, a story from 2019 can teach you the lesson you need after a builder was photographed defecating on a client’s roof in Skegness, Lincolnshire, after he was called out to fix a leak. The tradesman was grinning ear-to-ear in the moment that was captured by another construction worker, sending the image around to a number of people before the picture made its way back to the owner of the house who was disgusted by the ‘dreadful behaviour’. Speaking to The Mirror at the time, the homeowner said "I needed a leak in my loft fixing. I saw an advert in the local brochure - I did my checks, it appeared to be okay, so I asked them to do the work.” ”I went up on the scaffolding and noticed the faeces." Builder 'does a poo on man's roof and shoves some of it down the chimney' https://t.co/DUYV7VZTiS pic.twitter.com/QjDe4vyKMi "I was a bit disgusted - I had said to them I would provide toilet facilities in the house and they could use the kitchen when they started the work." "They'd even shoved some down my chimney stack." "It's dreadful behaviour.” "Skegness is a very small area. He sent the photos to someone and they found their way to me." The owner of the home refused to pay for the work that had been completed by the original company before calling a different builder to finish the work and fix the leak in the loft. (H/T Mirror)
