How do tradesmen charge ?

That's like saying you shouldn't employ an aerial fitter that only does one aerial jobs.

If I did that I would come back to find a sink where I left the bucket.

No you shouldn't. Absolutely. Will such a man have proper test gear, access equipment, and insurance? Unlikely.

As I said, training failure!

Probably not all at the same time though...

With the mindset of the larger builders, possibly - they seem to order to site, and anything left over at the end of a job goes in a skip regardless of being new and unused.

For the smaller builder trying to keep costs down, they may will store some materials.

True, although many will have at least some ladders, a scaffold tower, trestles, scaffold boards etc.

Depends what it costs to store them. Land costs, in say London, mean that it could be an expensive way to store bulky relatively low cost materials. Could be different in rural parts where a bit of a farm yard may be rented cheaply.
