Claims for damage can be an expensive overhead if not monitored. We are getting around three false claims a week.

Your boys must be careless!!!:nuts:

 

[SWIFTY]

I think I said false claims

 

[ragscaff]

Enjoying it at the sharp end then

 

[SWIFTY]

It makes me realise how good I was on the tools

 

[ragscaff]

That should be moved to joke of the day :nuts::nuts::laugh:

 

[frederik]

You did say false claims ...How do you monitor them?? Also,what percentage would you put down for bad weather, maintanence, late/non payments?

only 1/3 (33%) of claims are flase this means the boys are still doing 6 a week

We do a lot of grant work where the householder doesn't have to contribute anything towards the job.
It seems as though a lot of them look at a scaffolding company as an easy source of blame for anything, we have to take photos of everything around the property before and after each visit just to cover ourselves.
Those photos have saved us a fortune and made some very red faces.

Sad but true. I hate the way the less they are expected to contribute to their own fekin home improvements the more recompense they expect for a couple of weeks of hassle and when they don't get it they blame the scaffs from anything to breaking a slab to getting their youngest pregnant.



Only half is true.

Seems like you are ready to go BJ.
As long as you have the most important of all, (steady and reliable paying clients and contracts), then best of luck.
