Just need a rough indication os costs for the licenses from the council.

am i taling £200 or £2000 for the licence, any info would be great

Answer 1

Phone your local council

as you don't even say which council you will be asking!

Costs between councils vary.

Answer 2

Just a thought thats come to mind  you going place to place  hiring thing like the lights and scaffolding  will each be adding VAT  ?

  Then my mind says a large firm would have all the gear  would the overall job be zero VAT  so cheaper than DIY??

Answer 3

Why not get in touch with North Dorset District Council in Blandford?  There is a phone number on their website.

They will be able to tell you the exact cost - anyone here will just be making a guess.
