A homeowner was shocked to find a builder he had hired to fix a leak had defecated on his roof.

The 38-year-old dad, from Skegness, said he thought he examined the company thoroughly before he hired them to stop the loft leak.

But after inspecting the work, said he was horrified to find one member of the firm's staff had left a large pile of faeces behind - which he claimed had even been put down his chimney.

The grinning culprit had his photograph taken doing the dirty deed, before sharing it with friends.

The homeowner, who wanted to remain anonymous, told our colleagues at Lincolnshire Live: "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 contacted the building firm for a response.
