Default Windows replacing: needed scaffolding?


"Gianfra" wrote in message newspsyhiyooqe70oiq@jan...

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.



I have access to a set of ladders with a walkway attachment. Two man lift
into position,
as effective as scaffolding but a fraction of the cost to use, takes thirty
minutes to erect
or dismantle instead of scaffolding taking most of a day.
I also have access to a scaffold tower, not as quick as the ladders but much
cheaper.

My local roofing company cannot use either solution due to H&S rules and
their company policy.

Different companies, different application of the rules.

But go with the best 'total' quote.
