well, mostly its private residential, so basically they dont.

In the eyes of the WAHR - should be done via hydraulic access or scaffold towers.

I cant see how their employment insurance would cover this type of method..

I've look at those pics in more detail and im shocked at the sheer lack of H&S.  :o

Should be reported to the HSE imo.

However from the look of them, you wouldn;t want to mess wif em  ;D

If they flogged the 37 ladders they have, they could get a gutter vac and a decent pole system.  Or maybe retire. ;D

What about the two ladders over the conservatory in a aframe using a couple of screw drivers through the rungs.

Why do firms like this never get caught?

I think they're having a laugh and put the website up as a prank.  A bit like that picture with the water tank on the car roof  :)

These guys really do exist and operate.
They are pretty local to me and I have seen a signwritten van around.
They obviously get the work -but god knows how.
Working like some of their pics I am surprised someone has not been killed  >:( >:(
