It has been brought to ILA’s notice that scaffolders are not being pursued for costs for which they are supposedly insured (and presumably should extend to all damage caused).
It states on the information pack for a Scaffolding Licence that –
“All applicants must hold a public liability Insurance policy in for the sum of £5 million or above.”
Leaseholders should note that scaffolders usually need a Licence to erect scaffolding at any given location and that if scaffolding really is needed for major works, members should ask for a copy of the Licence. Furthermore, if damage is caused by scaffolding in any way, then members should ensure that all associated costs are claimed under the scaffolder’s insurance (rather than the leaseholder accept to pay those costs instead).
We strongly recommend that photos be taken of any damage.
If members have mistakenly paid bills including works arising from damage caused by scaffolding (proof being available in Reports etc), we suggest that they contact HfI, Partners or the Council to ask for reimbursement.

Our last general meeting, on 16th April 2008, was packed by leaseholders in the Borough’s biggest public meeting for years, to hear about the progress made by the ILA.
The ILA’s Directors set out a vision for an Independent Islington Leaseholders Association to speak for all of Islington Council’s leaseholders. The ILA’s vision is become a professional body, funded by subscriptions, and also to negotiate with Homes for Islington and Partners as a consultative body.
The meeting agreed the Islington Leaseholders Association Board’s proposal to provide professional services as soon as possible and also voted to pursue the following aims:
