Problems With Council House Repairs Needed
Comments

Febreeze may be making it worse to people who are semi asthmatic so please use it sparingly. Perhaps the combination of animal hair and strong air refresher set the poor guy off..! Obviously put all animals away from the hallway and rooms the workmen need to enter too.0

It's not always as simple as covering your face with a face mask - I certainly don't know any that block smells completely and there could be reasons why the workers cannot wear something like this. In addition, urine contains ammonia which can burn at the eyes, you may be desensitised to it but someone entering your home certainly won't be.
You mention it is partly your fault with working...does this mean the animals are left to do their business in the house whilst you are at work? Perhaps it may be worth looking at someone to come in and let them out during the day as the council could report this to the authorities as animal cruelty, no matter how well you believe yourself to be looking after your pets.0
