I need to replace the fascia boards on my house, and this will mean removing the lowest row of tiles, to replace some perished felt and suchlike. I have come to the conclusion that I really need a scaffold erected for this job.
I'm the kind of bloke who likes to take his time doing a job like this; not the least because, at my age, I don't have the energy or agility to polish the job off in a single day. Knowing me, it'll probably be more like a week's work.
Has anyone paid a scaffolding company to erect scaffolding around a 3-bed semi for a week rcently? How much did it cost?
I suppose another option would be to BUY some scaffolding and then sell it afterwards!
There is about ten meters of facia on each side of the house that needs replacing. Half of the job is accessible be one of those lorries with a pneumatic lift thingie, but only half of the house, so hiring one of those is not really an option.
Another option would be to bite the bullet ant pay a local builder to do the job, but I can't really afford that, unless I could find one who'd do the whole job for £500 all-in (highly unlikely in this day and age, I imagine). I've worked out that the materials required should cost approx £275.
Can anyone offer any suggestions or advice?
Many thanks,
Al
