I like the double edge course of setts
nice finishing touch
as for keeping the site tidy it is a constant battle,if i switch off for 2 minutes stuff happens
so i cant switch off :;):

I found the Brett sunset and multi brown setts looked fine with a red brick but I think most go with red as long as it's framed. Got a pic of the area to be laid?

the neighbours were ok really its just a 10 foot by 6 foot wide privet makes it difficult to put ant standards in
i was impressed how the scaffs got over it
and dave i have heard of ACAB but without customers where would we be?

....Surely only calls for a cantilever scaffold? I'm sure your allowed, by law to encroach slightly for temporary works ???

Yes, very true Tony but (in my experience) there are many good customers out there, just a few fall into the ACAB category I guess!

Yeah, to my knowledge it was up around the 100k mark!!
Think the steel sub structure bumped the price up.
The house is getting fully renovated too and will be rendered with k-rend or something similar, so the orangery will look pretty smart in the cheshire's against that when all done.

A spades a spade thats a conservatory /sunroom not an orangerie. It wouldn't let enough light in and appears to be facing the wrong way. Flipping architects are great at polishing turds but at the end of the day it's still a turd. It is very nice all the same it would be interesting to see what paving and planting is put in front of those doors. Are the doors being painted to match the rest of the frames it looks a bit odd and out of keeping otherwise.
