Sixty per cent of British tradesmen have admitted to peeing in a customers sink, a new poll has revealed.

Six out of 10 tradesmen asked by Trade.Love admitted to not using the allocated facilities because “it’s just easier” to use the sink.

Electricians were the worst, with nearly 20 per cent admitting to the disgusting habit, closely followed by plumbers.

The most respectable tradesmen were the cleaners and gas fitters, only a handful of whom admitted to ever peeing in a sink.

Two thousand tradesmen were polled.

Matthew Jones, director of Trade.Love, said: “The results are surprising to say the least.

"You would think that someone you're paying and bringing into your home would at least show a little respect.”

One brazen plasterer said: “I don’t know what all the fuss is about, urine is commonly known to be sterile.

"What you don’t know, won't hurt you”.
