4 guys x 3-4 days to erect. Similar to remove.

 

Equipment hire, disposables, vehicles, fuel, insurances, inspections.

 

How much do you think it should cost?

Scaffold Canopy is expensive.

 

Scaffolders will need to ballast / secure and provide certification and calculations, (and insurance) to cover the additional risk of building a giant wing on your house. 

 

Requires far more bodies, or fewer people but more days to complete.  External sheeting is also essentially a consumable as it gets bashed to buggery in all the '100 year storms' we have these days.  

 

You are paying extra upfront for convenience and speed for the rest of the works.  I doubt you'll find it much cheaper from a reputable scaffold company. 

 

There are still some monkey scaff companies around if you want it cheap - you pays your money and takes your own risks.

Googled it and shit the bed ! . I assumed there wasn’t much to essentially a ‘canopy’ but clearly there is . I *assume* most likely cheaper to get the scaffolder to do the tin hat rather than a separate company ?
