If there were lots of them use a platform. If not try a dragonfly type affair. Pole with microfibre cloth on a pad and pure water on.

If someone foots the ladder, and it's the right ladder for the job, and it cannot be reasonably done any other way, that's in accordance with H & S provided the area is coned off and a risk assessment is done, etc.

Wagtail on a pole is the answer, cut one to size if need be. Simple.
