get wfp system and do loads more like that

[matthewprice]

when i was trad would walk up the slates on a dry day ;)now wfp these are much safer

[simon sturmey]

i dont have WFP yet working my way towards that but in the mean time i have to ladder it
is there a specific ladder that can be used for this or is that being stupid???

Do you work on your own?

If there leaded not a chance but if not the ninja handle on the outer channel perfect for the job!

[EandM]

Ask a WFP friend to help. My mate is trad and if he has something like this we just agree to turn up at the same time and I help him for about 1 minute. Better that than he injures himself or breaks a tile / slate.

trolly and a cheap pole  and buy some water not 2 expensive

if your trad theres no easy way really,for me depends on slope if its not steep il walk on it,if its to dangerous to walk on its either use a trad pole to attach your applicator and squeege to,or the put your car/van in the drive so that you ladder can butt up againt front bumper then angle ladder more to reach or place top of ladder above window and reach like that,at least with the van/car idea you can guarentee the ladder cant slip,i do a few like this there is alway a way around it

When doing the quote get your ladder out and have a play, if you don't feel comfortable walk away.

this is what im working toward m8

[stuart mc]

truth be told I just walked along the roof when trad,

[Jackal]

also the window on the right is the problem one,the other is easy if you use your van/car as i said,like someone said have look with ladder first see whats best be4 commiting to the job

[NJWindowCleaning]

The one above the porch is easy to do off a ladder extend ladder above window should get the correct pitch and the problem window where you either walk up on the slates or get a extention pole for your trad gear as applicator and squeegee slides on to the end of the pole or if custy in ask if you can do the problem window from inside the house outwards.

trad pole with a swivel mop, swivel squeegee .   gets easier with practice

[mgba_78]

Over extend the ladder on the one above the door and extendable pole for other one.

We loads like this it take some practice but the more you do it the easier it gets.

I might try an unger pole with a cloth grab (Unger Flexi clamp) and clean it with a damp cloth, then swop the cloth over for a dry one to 'polish' up.
