I have a problem with an unsupported chimney in my house and it needs to be removed above roof level. I have had a builder over to quote on the job and he suggested doing all the work with using ladders and crawling boards rather than scaffold, as access to the rear of the property is difficult and it would have to all be carried though the house.
I was informed today that it is against Health & Safety legislation to work above eaves level without scaffold. Is this correct?
If the builder were to fall and injure himself whilst conducting the work, am I liable to be sued?
