Does anyone here work for organisations that insist the work is done using ladders and they pay for an extra body to foot the ladder?

[Richard Neal]

Nope but it someone asked i cant see the problem?
unless youve never done a lot of trad work before?

Ill foot your ladders 10 pound a hour

[scottt24]

we clean a big old house that has been converted into 20 apartments they insisted on trad cleaning and as a lot of the windows are three story we told them that the price would have to include people footing ladders, they were fine about paying extra

I like your hand writing.

No, most organisations understand building control and legislation, would have a written job method statement and full job risk assesment, I know they will be exceptions and not turning it into a previous post, but most , not all organisations will be street wise.

For the millionth time,.. ladders are RESTRICTED (eg banned ) If you can practicably do it with a pole the you're breaking the law doing it from ladders. Simples.

Save your life, etc etc,...

Whats the question for, can you please explain ?
we have probably worked out, you qouted for a job, they have moaned you are not footing ladder, then you want to know if you can charge extra for the person to foot the ladder.

Am I right ?

Ive been asked to quote for a job, where they have stipulated they are prepared to pay for a body to foot a ladder as the glass needs cleaning manually.
