Reminds me of a job I was given. "Go into the loft and see if everything is OK." The property was emptied only within the last couple of weeks, so I didn't expect to find much. Took my step ladders upstairs and into the bedroom to the single loft entry point; a hatch less than A3 paper size (I was later asked to enlarge it). So pushed the hatch open and was showered with the biggest rat poos I have ever seen. The whole loft was an inch deep in the stuff, which pretty much formed the only insulation! Three wasp nests as well.
