Title: LADDERS
Post by: Graham Airey on May 05, 2015, 09:21:16 am

I've been asked to do a bit of window cleaning for a local holiday cottage firm who i clean carpets and upholstery for. So far i think i have everything to get me going apart from ladders. Can anyone recommend a good allound set of ladders that would see me through most jobs? As it is just going to be a casual thing i dont really want to invest in more than one set.

Get yourself a 12/13 rung double extension, trade ladder, Abru or similar, slightly heavier than a domestic set but much sturdier, D rungs are more comfortable on the feet.

If you are window cleaning then get the best ladder for the job.
I recommend  an A Frame from midland ladders or Ramsey 3-3.5m

A frame definitely - must much safer than a normal ladder.

But they will slip on green flags, Martin  ::)roll. I didn't say they were foolproof.
Spikes can be useful but they can also cause some damage.

Common sense should dictate if ladders can be used on slippery surfaces or not... :-X

Sorry, not you, Martin.
I posted on Stan's comments. Stan's name is Martin, as well.
