However, simply for the ease of working, I would prefer to
have a house scaffolded if I were planning to do extensive work on the
outside.

And what would the ballpark figure be for such a hire (I know its a
vague question)?
Reason I ask: we have a long dormer window whose wood needs painted
and a ladder
would just be bl**dy inconvenient. At a guess the dormer window length
is
about six metres or so.
So for (say) one weeks hire of scaffold, what rough price would it cost
to get some
scaffolders in and let them have the hassle?
And/or is there any guidance or things I should look out for - for
example, if the
week I get the scaffold for changes so that it p*sses with rain (and
hence I cannot paint)
is there anything I ought to ask up front to extend the hire?

Thanks in advance
