Hi All

I have a job where i have to, first clean out the gutters and then the upvc.
But there is no room for my ladders to rest above the window.

Would i rest them against the top guttering and be careful?

Also its a 3 sided bay window

I would not rest a ladder against a gutter although i have been guilty in the passed as they slip to easily.

You need a ladder stand off about £20 in any DIY store.

Use ladder mitts - I never had them slip even on upvc. Not that I recommend you do that. (If you're gentle and no other option you can put them on modern sealed unit glass - near the edges - too.)

On the facia under the gutters

[david68]

Ok paul thanks i will try that .

I take it i need to position the stand off as far up the ladder they can go?

Might be a dum question, but never used them before

Dave

[pjulk]

Yes thats it put it right at the top.

There may be only a cople of inches to place my ladder before the guttering, Would this be ok with the stand off

Dave

[pjulk]

Yep thats all you need.

As long as the ladder is at a safe angle it won't go anywere.

For added peace of mind fit some stabilisers to the bottom of your ladder as well to be on the safe side!
