[QUOTE="Sidney, post: 471255, member: 30039"] You need to speak to the local council highways department. The slightest wiff of doing something wrong and they will land you with a £5k fine per individual. Sounds like you will need authority for mobile works which are easy enough to set up, they normally allow these between 09:30 and 15:00, this allows you to work in daylight. As you're working at height you will also need to think about a drop zone that's barriered off to prevent access by the general public. Even a stone dropping from a boot and hitting someone is grounds for a very big claim against you. Insurance will pay out but they will normally try and recoup this loss from you directly. Don't try and 'get away with it', many have tried in the past and failed miserably. [/QUOTE]
