A MAN is "gutted" that dirty mud has been splattered over two homes he has spent two and a half years renovating by contractors. 

Ash Browning, age 62, used to run Brownings Furniture at 35 Wyld's Lane but has since renovated the building into two homes.

It has been a labour of love for two and a half years but Mr Browning was upset to see the state it had been left in by CityFibre contractors.

A note was pushed through the door by the workers apologising for the state they had left the building in with a promise to come back and clean it up.

CityFibre's area manager for Worcester has also apologised for the mess and reiterated that teams will be out to clean up the affected area.

Mr Browning, who now runs the furniture business online, said: "I came back to find everything literally covered in mud. 

"There was a screwed-up letter shoved through my post box saying sorry, we'll clean it tomorrow.

"There's now mud all over my brand spanking new railings, walls and windows.

"The mud has just been splattered and sprayed everywhere."

He phoned City Fibre to complain and said that they were sympathetic, however, he did not want compensation or for anyone to come and clean up the mess.

However, he said he was "simply livid" that there were no barriers put in place to stop it from happening.

He added: "It should have been screened up properly to protect my property so that none of this would have happened.

"It's soul-destroying. All of my time and my labour has been ruined.

"Two and a half years you work on something and someone comes and does that.

"My friend who is an architect has explained that this mud will have chemicals in it and it won't be easy to get off. 

"It took a professional builder three weeks to put these new windows in, I'm not having someone come and scratch those up trying to clean it."

Neal Wright, CityFibre’s area manager for Worcester, said: “We expect the highest standards from our build partners, which is why we are very sorry to learn of the concerns raised by a resident in Wyld’s Lane. 

"Our local build team is now cleaning the area to ensure the street is left as we found it.

“We’d like to thank all residents for their support and patience throughout the build to date.

"We are investing £21m to bring the best available digital connectivity to thousands of homes and businesses in Worcester, and once the full fibre works are complete, businesses and residents in the area will have access to future-proof digital connectivity that will not need to be replaced for decades to come.”
