With great difficulty :( . I use an extention pole and can only blade downwards. Also detailing is tricky at best. Where possible it's better to do them from inside. I always tell customers that these windows are "best endeavours" and most accept that.

Good luck!

No I put the ladders up against the cons' making sure the top of the stiles don't extend higher than the apex of the cons'....if they do they just get in the way.

I think that this is where wfp comes into it's own.

Ask if you can do them from the inside, if they really want them done then they'll let you.  You can use an extension pole but at that length it's a bit tricky to say the least.
