MIDLANDS
Have been up in Birmingham alot lately and see to many scaffolds up 13-16ft base and all putlog. these are not new builds not that should make any difference, these are peoples homes & buildings that so called scaffs are smashing holes out for the putlog!! not even had the nerve to put any braces in.
not even a underslinger on the inside!!!
unbelievable this is on a main rd, this isn't in the centre of Birmingham manly on the outskirts i.e webheath, kingswinford & worcester
 
I've see these sort of jobs on my travels round the midlands,it can't be scaffs Putin it up,it's got to be builders with a little bit of knowledge tryin to save money,playin with other people's lives if you ask me.personally I'd rather be able to sleep at nite knowing they can do a conga on my jobs and they ain't goin no where.
 
so do a like nice strong job tht they could do the conga on bud lol class one need to remember that for site agent u cld do theconga
 
Yeah, nice one Damo, might use it myself.:D

Funny you say that Clarkey, I was in Birmingham over a year ago and seen the same thing so they have been getting away with it for a while now despite what the hse would have you believe.
 
Definetly not a scaff, maybe someone who worked on construction in the 70's? any chance of some pic's please? Sorry lads, but this this kind of crap gives decent street firms a hard time. How do they get away with it? I would like to know what they charged the client? Crap scaffold, smashed masonary!

Damo, the one was flying a flag!!! i wouldn't be advertising the fact:eek:
 
Is it in galvy tube or sh*tty rusty with putlog adapters on the trannies,thats what some of the yokel builders round here use.
 
You would not believe some of the scaffolds seen up in the Leeds/Bradford area, a lot of them are on the main roads and 10` to 13` lifts are the norm where are the HSE when you need them, the answer about 80 miles from here
