Think it would be poop.
You could do a video of someone cleaning without splashing out £900
And another with someone standing scratching his head as he wanders why he bothered buying something that is not practical for all domestic work.

Ok,
So do you have any ideas of what would be better,
As there are lots of times when you have to pole off a ladder,
And i was looking for a safer way,

nice bit of kit if decorating or something where your in same position for an hour or so but with say conservatory cleaning you would prob need to change position 3-4 times minimum could be quite a ballache repositioning it so its level etc can see why it would be good

Good bits of kit comply with all H&S, only prob is the space needed, why not hire one first then give us some feedback.


FYI - telescopic ladders are for access onto or off a flat roof ( or loft space ) not working off. Many do not even meet the basic en131 standard HTH

Use what you like, makes no difference to me, just passing on information you can accept or reject as you see fit

Too much ping about. Hire a conservatory ladder for around £30 +VAT for a day.
