I've just had some work on the outside of my house done, and it needed a scaffold tower put up. No hassle in the project beyond a couple of short delays due to frost and safety on the roof.
The builder is finished (this afternoon), I'm happy with his work but I want the scaffolding down. I've no reason to believe it won't be removed by the scaffolders in the timeframe he described (later this week) but was thinking of withholding 25% of the invoice amount until it's gone and the project is complete.
Scaffolders are the bottom of the trade food chain and likely loaded up with substances most of the time. It'll probably be there till they need it for the next job.

Is this a reasonable thing to do?
