Just discovered a ladder has been nicked off a hired scaffold tower at my house. The roofers who carried out the work have denied any knowledge and the scaffold company says they haven't taken it. Scaffold company say I am responsible and are charging me £70 plus VAT.
This seems crazy - how can the client be responsible for the entire scaffold stack? I'd need to hire a 24 hour security team. At no stage was I told I would be liable if there were any theft. Is the scaffold company correct in charging me for the loss?
Many thanks.
