A red-faced dad had to cough up £4,500 to mend his own botched attempt at DIY after he tried to fix a leaking roof and damaged ceiling.
Tom Saunders, 40, noticed the awry roof was causing severe water damage to his townhouse, so he tried to air it and replace parts of the broken ceiling as he thought it'd be cheaper than hiring a tradesperson.
The dad of two thought it would control the damp but it made it worse and the mould quickly spread to the bathroom, and hallway ceiling and walls of the property in Hastings, East Sussex.
