I would have extended the ladders to rest on  the gutters , and cleaned the windows ! Am I missing something ?

I tried to work like that in the beginning.  It often meant that the window was out of reach - especially near the bottom.  Then I would put one foot out onto the tiles to allow me to reach but that didn't feel so safe.  I ended up walking up the tiles but that can be dodgy when they are wet and/or mossy.  Those sort of windows definitely better by WFP IMO.
Spot on Shiner, they are so easy now I'm wfp, I used to have to lay the ladder onto the tiles and get the boss to foot the ladder, that was the safest way to do this type of window, I did them on my own a couple of times and I had to walk on the roof holding onto the window ledge, Crazy or what but we all did/do it.

I've seen these being used and they look good. However, it was by a painter who was at the window for ages so worth all the set up time and he can't paint with a pole. (No don't tell me he can ;D ;D) Now with wfp, there is not the need for window cleaners to put ladders in places that need these sort of devices.

They take seconds to attach and detach
