Cash discounts, scaffolding

Featured Replies

Is it normal for trades like scaffolders to offer cash discounts? Coming from the world of enterprise, it seems a bit dodgy. I've never withdrawn £20k in cash before...

It is dodgy for obvious reasons. £20k is a lot of scaffolding or you plan on having a while. 

Does cash mean no documentation? What about tagging and liability? Scaffolding can get people badly hurt, want to make sure you have a safety paper trail for that.

Any trades that you use will prefer cash 

It’s often the only incentive for a one off build 

 

Our electrician was being paid £300 for a Saturday or Sunday -40% and extra NA and pension It’s far better doing the work for cash at a lower rate

We need a 'tin hat' on a 27Lx10Wx8H metre building.
