I used to use this method until I got the tank system. All I do now is wet the SFG and then spray some hypo along and wait 10mins then go back and clean with cold water from the pole. This is the best and quickest method I have come to realise.


Being in Scotland you probably spray half the country without realising it. You’ll no doubt also ruin most of the clothes you’re wearing, get it in your hair, eyes and cover the owners garden.

If you’re now going to say you wear PPE to protect yourself it’s not going to be as quick as you’re implying.

I wouldnt use the cheap ones which are light, they dont look safe, there flumsy and when I've seen people use them it looks like they would snap if used everyday.

My neck , Shoulders, Back etc are buggered from this job over the years and getting the ladders on and off the van isn't helping . My ladders are a bit heavy but I can't remember which ones are the light ones and as everything is done online these days can't even go and look for them .
Does anyone know which are the best, Lightest Double ladders out there ?
I do mainly  gutter cleaning these days with some windows so need slightly longer ones.
Thanks .

The lightest ladders will be DIY ladders with the red feet. But you don't want to be using them day in day out. Commercial ladders would be best, but heavier. I've got Lyte ladders.
You don’t want to be using them at all, if you have an accident your insurance will be void!

Lyte ladders is what you need.

Phone them first and tell them you don't want them to fit the stabiliser and they will send it seperate from the ladder.

I bought a water works one and the thing would take your hand off it was that quick. Kept blowing its fuse, like 2 everyday for a week.

The speed it was coming in was dangerous, I thought this cant be right.

Window cleaning warehouse were useless trying to sort it.  Waterworks on the other hand were brilliant.

They exchanged it for a new one for me.
