saveasteading Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Praise where due. Having advised our family on site that scaffolders are a different breed, and to prepare for some chaos: this message today from site. You would be pleasantly surprised by the scaffolders: very nice guys, proud of their work and company, and did a full tidy up before they left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small local family run business who were extremely helpful and pleasant to have on-site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToughButterCup Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Locally, I understand that a couple of the large firms pay their scaffolders partly (50%) in white powder. Which is why we employed a local family firm. Polite, hard-working, sensibly priced. And deliciously indiscrete. Recently, another local firm wasn't paying him properly. So come Sunday morning, he popped out to the site and removed the scaff boards. But what if that company hadn't been paid and so couldn't afford to pay you, I ask. When this company is on 3 months credit, he shot back. "There's credit, and then there's tekin' 't p!ss. Eeee wunts ter pay me in cork - fook that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
