I had an issue with two back upstairs windows, so I asked a bricky to fix them, this involved scaffolding as I have a large conservatory on the back. Before the bricky started I noticed that the scaffolding was resting on the apex of my conservatory, so I expressed my concern to the bricky, he passed my concerns on to the scaffolder who replied it will be fine as the supporting beam will take the weight. The bricky has now finished and I was washing down the conservatory last night and we now have a leak in the conservation at the apex point, running down the house wall; I think the weight of the scaffold has disturbed the lead flashing between the conservatory and the house. I also noted last night that the scaffold boards actually don't sit flush on the decorative fleur De lis, they push down on them as the fleur de lis sits higher than the scaffold board; so even if the support pole supports the scaffold poles, when people walk on the boards you hear a creaking and the boards push down on the fleur de lis. The bricky has contacted the scaffolder last night, but didn't get a reply, he's told me to have a word with them when them come to take scaffold down tomorrow. I don't even know the name of the company as the bricky just gave me an all-in quote.
What do I do now, I can't see how I have much recourse. I'll tell the scaffolder tomorrow, but once he's removed his scaffolding, I'm left with nothing, the bricky has paid him. Any help is appreciated thank you
