Hi fellas sorry not been on in a while just can't find the time lately. I come for some advice
we did a scaffold for one of our good customers who deal with insurance claim repairs. This job went up about a month ago 4 lift to front elevation with roof saddle around a large stack which is on the party wall with the neighbours roof which steps down a couple of feet. So we have saddle on one side of stack then a lower saddle on neighbours side then punched up to give a full 4 board run around the stack we have used spreader boards etc and scaff was spot on.
So today I get a phone call from one of this firms subbie brickies at dinner time telling me scaffs gone through neighbours roof and broke the ridges and can we get a gang there today, now bear in mind this job is a good hours drive from our yard I said no chance I can get someone there tomorrow and also told him it's most likely that he's overloaded the scaffold (this scaffold was up for two weeks before got on it with no probs) so the plan was we go over in morning and strip scaffold around stack he does roof repairs then we strip rest of the job. Now then about an hour ago I gets a message from our main customer telling me to leave scaff up as customers complaing about the workmanship of the brickie. So I phoned the brickie and he informs me that he has cut the ledger to gain access to the ridge. I told him he shouldn't be cutting any scaffolding at all he says it's all safe and not to worry. Now this brickie always causes problems undoing things takes rakers out stripping stacks etc.
So tomorrow first thing I'm going down to the offices and finding out what's gone out but I'm debating whether I tell them I never want that man on my scaffold again which in turn could lose him a lot of work. ???? Ps sorry for the long speel
