A homeowner was left stunned and revolted after he discovered a builder he had hired to fix a leak had defecated on top of his roof.

The 38-year-old dad said he felt he'd checked out the company thoroughly before he hired them to stop a leak in his loft at his home in Skegness.

But he was horrified to discover one member of the firm's staff had left a large pile of faeces behind - and claims some of it had even been put down his chimney.

To make matters worse, the grinning culprit had his photograph taken doing the dirty deed - and then shared them with friends.

The homeowner, who has asked to remain anonymous, 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,"

" 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."

The 38-year-old was then stunned to find pictures circulating showing one of the builders grinning at the camera in a photo while doing the act.

"Skegness is a very small area," he said. "He sent the photos to someone and they found their way to me.

"I asked the director of the company about it and showed him the photos and I felt he got very aggressive."

After refusing to pay, the homeowner was then forced to hire another company to finish the job and double check everything had been done correctly.

"I had to get another company to finish the job because I wasn't certain they'd done a good job," he said.

Lincolnshire Live has contacted the building firm for a response.

This is not the first poo-related incident to take place on the Lincolnshire Coast in recent weeks - only last week a man was caught on CCTV having a poo outside an Ingoldmells bar before taking a photograph of it.
