when to paint exterior of house

[bigmac]

we still have scaffolding up and were told to paint exterior of house while scaffold is still up
but the site is still very much a dirty building site and worried paint will get ruined
Any thoughts

Paint it now.

Working on a height must be supported by a secure platform, not a ladder.
This is a requirement under the health and Safety regulations
Splashes at ground level can be touched up later.



If you are a self-builder and not using a main contractor but direct labour, you are deemd to be the Contractor under the Health and Safety legislation
