1. When you get pulled over by the law for not having commercial insurance tell 'em you don't work professionally and you've only got ladders and bucket on board because you like to clean windows as a favour to your friends.
2. When you trade in the Rover 800 for a Kia Pride make sure you get one with a sunroof so you can stick your ladders out of it and save money on a roof rack.
3. If you have got a roof rack for your ladders get a round bucket you can put your gear in and then wedge it into your rungs while driving along; this will save time and stop you opening and bashing your tail gate on the ladders every time you need your gear.
4. When you collect your dole money make sure you do it before lunchtime so you can go straight to the boozer and not lose it to the "missus" for nappies, rent, fines and other non-essentials.

5: High harness work
If you tie off onto a piece of furniture, make sure that it is bigger than the window. That way it will jam in the hole if you fall off.
If it is too small, not only will you fall all the way to the floor, bit said furniture will then land on you.

Also make the harness 3 feet longer than the drop . That way if you fall and hit the ground it doesn't damage the bolts or the harness .

6. When custy asks if you can carry on through the winter months remind her that those days are strictly for watching Jeremy Kyle with a few tins of special brew and some Golden Virginia.

7. If you send enough guys up ladders in breach of health and safety guidelines to get your takings up near the VAT threshold just get more of your custies to pay cash and don't declare it.

Special brew is only for newbies old trad guys drink fortified wine only.
Brown bag helps to stop the bottle slipping out of wet hands which could be dangerous on top of a ladder.

Quite right! I'm trying to get Barry to post some - his top tips are priceless. I don't need to ask Tosh about how to fail miserably I can do that with no help from him thank you.
I'm happy being miserable even though Tosh says that's impossible.

8. Remove the rubber inserts on the bottom of the ladder so as it's just the aluminum that's in contact with the floor and make sure a few of the rungs are bent.
9. When securing the ladder on the rickety roof rack, tie it on using a few bits of 10 year old blue nylon string.
-
10. Use bungees to keep your ladders on so that when they fly off at 60 mph on the dual carriageway they fly clear from your car and into the windscreen of the passing lorry.
-
11. Make sure you pack that bag of sand that foots the ladder for you in winter.
I forgot mine a few times
