We've had similar problems like this in the past. There are a few options open to you.
1. Go and clear the scaffold (using whatever means necessary), take it down and walk away. Bearing mind that you'll probably get no more cash and they could come after you for damaging bricks, grass, flowerbeds whatever.
2. Take the handrails off and take any ladders away and tell them you'll put them back on when you're paid.
3. Send them a letter giving them 7 days notice to clear the scaffold because you're going to strip it. If the bricks are still on the scaffold then they can't say they haven't been warned. Again you'll probably get no more cash off them.
4. Assuming its not a cash job, tell them you're going to take them to the small claims court and you'll claim all of the costs, the hire bill and interest.
Hope this gives you some ideas
