Scaffolders! How much do they earn a year, 1, 1.2 mil?
Trying to get quotes to get roof access. Need 10m in height, 5m in length on one face so no corners. Or 15m with a single 45 corner. On pavement, i can get permits easy enough, boarded at top level only, single ladder access. For 1 month.
First guy wanted £5.5k, told him to go milk some other poor bastard. Second guy wants £3k, or £3.5k with permits. Permit is £101 a month, £25 a week to extend, requires one form on council website and they push it through in under a week. So caught him fucking up there, £399 to "admin" a single form. Both were quoting for the short section.
Real price in my mind is around £1500 first month, then a few hundred a month to extend.
Am i way out of touch, or are all Scaffolders minted?
