How many blokes to replace soffits? – Page 2 – Chat Forum

4 bed detached and paying a fortune... I expected, partly as I thought it would require people working together and partly H&S, that at least 3 people would be on site / up ladders. I have one messy sod and a 'lean to' scaffold. He seems happy to just chuck everything on the floor from a great height scattering all kinds of crap, including nails, all over my lawn. Obvioulsy I've told him to be more careful but he seems to not give a toss. There's also the gable ends to sort and how the hell he will get to them is a mystery to me. Questions - Is it safe or indeed usual for a single bloke to be doing this type of job? The chippy I had here yesterday said that these scaffold types had been banned - any truth in that? Should I stop being precious about my lawns and kid/nail interface potential? EDIT - used this form as came 'recommended'

By the sounds of it, it'll be woodgrain fascia boards and possibly soffit too, and that on a big house so no wonder it's expensive. Same thing in white would be about £2000...
