Hi....I'm hoping one of you brothers can help me out....I've a PV install to do in [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Tullibody, Clackmannanshire in Scotland to do for my dads friend and I am trying to keep costs down to a minimum... Does anyboy know of any reasonably priced scaffolders in and around the FK 10 area....

Surely you try and keep costs down for all your customers. So why not use your usual scaffolder?

He wont travel that far up and would like to use somebody local...

I personally would just go on checkatrade or something getting scaff up is easy... getting it down can be the hard part, checkatrade should give you an idea of if they are any good and how well priced they are... if not blag it.. your going to Scotland as a one off I assume tell the scaff you do "x" installs a week in england and your looking to move into scotland where you expect the same level of business but you need to try someone as a one off, and I am sure cheap prices will follow.

That made me chuckle, I'm a wiser person these days, but Ive fallen for that one a couple times!

I got qouted upto £1200 for stand scaffolder near ED postcodes.

We often pay between £800 and £1100 and have never managed to get it lower from a legit firm, it's gutting hearing people talk about paying £500 down south

I think they are golden tubes in scotland I could pay £350 ex vat northwest the go ED or FK and pay £1200 quid not worth doing the installs that why I stopped installing up in scotland scaffolders are greedy wee beggers and talk aload of haggis
