Dad gets phone call after neighbour spots scaffolders 'in his hot tub drinking beer'

A dad of two received a phone call when he wasn't in to say his neighbour saw scaffolders working on the house using his hot tub and drinking his beer.

David Wright from Irby was forced to move out of his family home after part of his roof blew off during Storm Arwen that hit the country at the end of November 2021. Following a number of phone calls to his home insurance provider, Zurich, he moved his family into a small bungalow in Springfield, a number of miles away from his home for what he was told would be "four months max".

Now, seven months on from the damage, David and his family appear to be no closer to moving back into their home. The 45-year-old told the ECHO about the tedious hoops he's had to jump through as well as what he believes is the poor standard of workmanship shown by the sub-contractors used by the insurance group.
