We did a good one yesterday, working from a ladder with a stand off at the top this gives good stability for the ladder and most importantly you can clean guttering, fascias and soffits without getting wet, I use half inch hose pipe and a hand held water-fed-brush, degreaser and a couple of green backed abrasive sponges, also use an industrial rojack on the ladder to add to safety,

i have a stand off so may try that way. The side of the house will be done wfp though i reckon as too high for ladder. Also will use wfp for front of dormer windows but reckon will need to ge ton the roof for the rest of it.

I have one of those car wash brushes with fan jets fitted and just swop it on to my pole so my main brush stays clean.
