Had the pleasure of working in this house recently, the smell was unbelievable and reeked on my clothing all day.
Only had to do a textured ceiling next to the en-suite bathroom (shown in pcs).
The old fella has got to the stage he can't really look after himself now ( Ex Trinity College).

I tiled a loft conversion bathroom last year. It was in a dirty hoarders house. Filth everywhere. The smell of sweat in the air. All the windows closed and curtains drawn closed. Luckily i was in the new loft. The plasterer dropped a blob of plaster on her dirty threadbare hall carpet. She went mental. You've ruined my carpet she said. 2 young kids in the house too. They looked like they lived on takeaway too. I was glad to get out. The smell of the house lingering in my nose for hours!

On a similar theme I did a bathroom refurb earlier in the year for a retired woman who by the smell of things was obviously a smoker.
Now I never saw her smoke and if she did it was always 2 rooms away from me. But when I went home at night
and got cleaned up you could detect the unmistakable smell of nicotine on the tiny little bit of t shirt collar that was showing above the jumper!
And the smell even embedded itself in the dust sheets I had laid over the carpets

worked in a house a couple of years ago in newton aycliffe put roll and stroll on the carpets which were nearly thread bear and covered in cat and dog hairs. when we finished pulled up the carpet protector left tram lines every were. she rang the company up to complain as we had only cleaned parts and not all of her house.

It has been known for carpets to be that manky that roll & stroll would not stick!

Don't some people realise there houses are the pits:rolleyes:
