I need to replace the fascia/soffet and guttering on my house this year,whilst on my travels i have seen a lot of 'facsia' replacement gangs using what looks like an alloy scaffold/tower that 'leans' into the house with a good length platform to work from.

1)Does the above make sense?  ???

2)If it does what is it actually called,and can you hire it?

3)I know nobody likes on line pricing ,but could anyone give a rough guesstimate for a scaffold,s.e london,easy parking,easy access,approx 15m long and 1 lift high to reach facsia height.

Tnanks in advance.

hi trowelhead
you are right about online pricing
the average house is 5m wide, you said you are looking for something about 15m long ??? you either live in bloody big house   or there is at least 2 returns making three 5m runs.also if you look in jerry ds picture you will see a garage ,porch ect, all these have tobe taken into  your price  
we do a lot of work in se london so as a rough price (sharp intake of breath) about £500-600.
you possably could get a local guy to be cheeper but check them out first ? like most trades there are plenty of COWBOYS out there
hope this helps
