The glass should be boarded .

More than 1 way to skin a cat as they say! But that is a possibility however it seems unlikely that due to the expense involved that it would be the prefered option!

There is no netting of the work face of the scaffolding. Debris just drops down internally. The scaffold rests off the walls with the only contact being the end of 6ft tubes spaced about 1.5m apart on each lift (lift meaning level if anyone doesn't know).

Usually & for this type of job the scaffold is not even boarded towards the working surface to keep the area clear where people are working.

Boarding the conservatory is essential if a working scaffold is being beamed across for this type of job.

Not forgetting that also when the scaffold is put up fittings are used that weigh up to about half a kilo & they will drop like a sledgehammer through the glass.

The neighbours are refusing access to their garden at the moment as I type this they are having new decking laid and their garden landscaped thats why they have said No

You can get a Court Order via

Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992 (c. 23)

to allow for maintanence of you property. Obviously, the contractor will have to protect and reinstate your neighbours property.

It is a balancing act between court costs and reparation to neighbours and the boarding over the conservatory. Speak to your contractor about the options.

Our neighbour has just extended their bungalow to a house, and the conseratory was scaffolded and double boarded over. This actually allowed a large storage/working area at the higher level.
