Where do you get £900 a weeks from?
I am a decorator and always use scaffolding for 2+ story exteriors. I am London based and can get a single lift scaffolding to reach the guttering on a 6m terraced house for £300 (cash).
Most of my exterior work is following a brick pointer that obviously needs scaffolding. He pays cash, and has the scaffolding for up to 2 months. Back and front of a terraced house, again single lifts, will cost him £600.
Last year, I made the mistake of ringing the first advert I found on Google the guy phoned me back and quoted £700 ex VAT. I spoke to mates who went on to recommend a bloke that charged me £250 cash.
