Bad luck mate. Can't see the pic but treat the fall as a warning and realise you are lucky not to have a more serious result.

Sorry to hear about your fall, i had slipped off a portch roof a few years back (trad)

one minite i was cleaning away, then before i could blink, i  was on the concrete below , took all the

guttering with me on way down, i landed backwards with my hands stopping me from braking my back on

a steep step, could have easily ended up in a wheelchair,   

ive done it again on another house since, but managed to grab the window ledge..  not got that worry

now on wfp.   here's a pick of the first fall that i took with phone on the next clean i done on the house.  jp

I had a fall 3 months ago and still getting head aches at least 4/5 times a week.Hit head on the back of my scull.Ended up in A&E for the day.They would not let me go home till my head was right at the end of the day I just said its fine to go home.

If i was trad i would not be going on that porch roof as if they get slightly wet they will be slippy you can tell from pic and those type of tiles break easily .

And if you had the suction type safety feet on your ladder and some ladder mitts fitted i dont see why you could'nt clean of ladder by placing ladder over porch roof and onto window sill as normal . Mike
