    How can you forget a full size 3 way aluminium ladder:rotfl: I did ring that one up to tell him he'd left his ladder......

    .:rotfl:


    Funny enough I have a set of ladders the Ariel bloke left and never came back for 3 years ago.

    Must be an easy thing to forget, not like he wouldn't notice at the next job.
    I do Contracts, all day every day.

    Op said they did clean it, with bleach. Not sure why he/she is so annoyed. An issue was flagged, it was dealt with.

    I said bleach was put in the corners of the room in which it happened. Cleaning would suggest washing/ scrubbing it down which didn't happen.

    I didn't say I was annoyed at the bleach. I am annoyed that it happened in the first place. As I've said before, even if this is standard practice on building sites, it doesn't mean it's right.

    My problem is more centred around not knowing where else has been urinated on, and the disrespect shown by the builders who are being paid a lot of money to build these houses.

    If this is the case and they have only half heartedly sloshed some bleach around, then ask them to jet wash the walls and floors and then treat with heavy duty disinfectant.

    And no - it is not standard practice.

    It is not company policy, it is rogue workers or sub contractors and they need to be taken to task.

    Faye: After your experiences with this property, why do you think the issue would not occur in any other building site??

    You could always go and squat on the site managers car and pee on his bonnet. Doesn't solve your problem, but it would make me feel better. After all, it's only urine...
    Remember Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is usually the right one. :)
