Liability of painting company - Legal advice centre

Questioner

I have a reputable painting company that my dormer window is going to be painted. They find a scaffolding for the poor amount of work and the ease Accessibility of the dormer window not required. My question now is if something happens who is then liable for the damage or personal injury. The painting company says that they themselves be liable, is that so?

Lawyer

In principle, the painting company is liable for the damage that has occurred, because as professionals they can properly assess which materials they need for the work to be done. If they want to work without scaffolding, this is at their own expense and risk. If any problems arise regarding liability, you can contact me directly and free of charge.
