Default Windows replacing: needed scaffolding?

Hi,
I am thinking of replacing my windows with double glazed PVC. As my flat
is on the second floor, I would like to know if for this kind of work
scaffolding is needed or can the windows be fitted from the inside of the
flat.
Please can someone give some advice as some window companies say
scaffolding is needed and some say it is not.
Many thanks in advance.

If a company is doing it it should not matter to you, just go with the
best quote.


I'd second that.

For a second floor installation, I would expect a company to require
scaffold for H&S reasons. But it is possible to DIY from inside and
finish off outside with a ladder.


Most of the companies I've seen just use a ladder. Even third floor
installs I've seen done with a ladder. I suspect the installers aren't
fussed about H&S.
