Why can you work an extra 1-2 hours darragh?  Whether trad or wfp, I can't honestly say I finish the day knackered.   I do my 6 hours flat out then go home. 

Only thing that bothers me are those boiling hot summers days, when the sun blazes all day.  Killer.

6 hours was all i could manage with the heavey ladders and climbing waving a pole about is much easier

One thing that strikes me since joining the forum is how short a day most window cleaners work.  I always thought I was a lazy git doing only 6 hours a day  ;D

use diy ladders much lighter only problem is your weight over 15 stone and you take a risk
This is madness !

DIY ladders tend to wear out real quick I found.

Been using a DIY one, but it's more the professional side of it, it's MAHER, German made, really well build ladder, very very light triple extension ladder. :)

No more ladders for me now though, SL2 and SL-X all the way!

I could never get replacement feet for diy ladders either.  Done in 6 or 8 months.  My last set of trade ladders lasted 8 years, feet readily available.  But yeah, they are heavier.
