  • 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.

    Is this a reasonable thing to do?

  • No.

    How would you feel if someone did the same with you for some work you'd done? You'd be fuming.

    Pay the scaffolder and tell him it's ready to take down.
