apparently you can park a car on most conservatories without it collapsing.
although i wouldnt walk on one personally  ...  nor would i park a car on one for that matter..

tbh - this was how it was done just 5 years ago before the real up take of wfp.

I used to do the same on glass roofs - we used to be like spiders climbing all over them, and there was 2 of us doing a conny roof just like that.

I know it still happens this way today..

far easier (and safer) these days to wfp the lot.

Nope over 5 years ago I would say to the customer, my life is more important than cleaning that window, they normally got the point I was making, if they didnt I offered to foot the ladder for them  ;D.

I'm sure these pics have been posted before, a good couple of years ago.  You can imagine the situation with the conservatory.  Customer says, "The guys that fitted it says it will take the weight of a car, your not scared are you?".  Short answer should be, "I'm not a muppet."  

As for the second, I can't really see why he has to put his leg out from the ladder, unless he's planning on breaking in, plus the ladders are a bit squew wiff.  Mind you I've had a leg off the ladder before and higher than that.

Some conservatory roofs (On commercial buildings mostly) are actually designed to be walked on.
I do one which is the entrance lobby of a supermarket,.. but there are eyebolts to secure your ropes/lanyard & I had a long chat with the safety officer there figuring out exactly how it should be done before I agreed to do the job.

The one in the photo is way too steep, defo only domestic grade, and no safety ropes in sight,.. very bad idea!
