When a licence expires

  • If you have not contacted us, we visit the site to check whether your scaffolding has been removed.
  • If the scaffolding is still up, you will be contacted to arrange an extension.
  • If the scaffolding has been removed, we retain your deposit and notify you that this has happened.
