ladder sliding
« on: September 29, 2008, 04:46:21 pm »
few jobs i do they have renovated the houses and the window sill area is now covered witha metal moulded box which is painted. as you can imagine the ladder slides on this a bit.

i thought about ladder mitts to help this but i then thought of attaching some rubber onto back of ladder to help this as the mitts are at top of ladder.

any ideas.

When I was on ladders I used the big orange ladder mitts and they were really good.
It's a game of three halves!

I'd be scared to use wfp...I mean all that looking up and tripping over plant pots and stuff...not to mention touching overhead power cables with the pole.

Gosh it gives me the shudders just thinking about it ;D

If you used proper pointed window cleaners ladders, you could put the point into the reveal (between glass and brickwork) ABOVE the window box.  If the window is too wide to reach, just move the ladder to the other side.
