June 24, 20224 yr 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.

A small local family run business who were extremely helpful and pleasant to have on-site.

June 25, 20224 yr 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"
