IIRC and this is something you mentioned in another thread then the answer then was that they were happy to install it with the appropriate scaffolding.

I suggest that at this time of the year these companies have more than enough work to do and so can't be bothered. It might be a different story in the spring and summer of 2007.

Not if they only fill the hole in the same way. Obviously if you require they redecorate then of course.

I had the front of my house done from the inside and providing you accept responsibility for clearing the way and making good the decorating - in my case a coat of emulsion paint - I don't see ANY reason why it should cost more.

How many quotes did you get?

the argument could even be made that it's quicker to drill plasterboard than brick.

Further to the above, the front of my house is half tile hung, so presumably these companies are saying such houses can't be done. It's rubbish, if you are prepared to accept the inconveniences.

One quote from my energy supplier EDF/Miller Pattison. 2 other companies not interested the minute garage was mentioned did not even come to survey. And they asked about whether a garage was at the side of the house and what type of roof it had. Third company based in the area I live did not have any agents in my area. As someone suggested they will only do it if it is easy and they get the maximum grant. Also each company said they would not do it from the inside, did not give an explanation other than they don't.

Time to take this up with whoever's grant you were thinking of using. However, I still suspect that you would get a different answer in six months time when they are not rushing to do lots of houses.
