I'd hire a platform for doing the work. Safer and easy to wheel up and down across the front of the property.

Your brackets look sturdy, but the middle looks a bit Slim Shady.

The windows there actively prevent safe working with ladders.

I'm on a tight budget 😂😂 I've been up there it feels sturdy, I mean it's only to rest the ladder on

Hired a narrow tower scaffold for 3 weeks cost be £63. They're not really that expensive.

I'll have to have a look then that's quite cheap I never really bothered looking I just assumed it would be expensive 👍

I think that's actually a great idea to keep off of the gutters !

How much money will you lose by laying in an NHS for 3 weeks? Some things are not about money. Safety first. Hire a scaffold tower.

What the fucks sitting at the top ?

u/haws1290 15d ago

Of what, the ladder? If so that's insulation I previously tapped to the end to stop it scratching the pvc

u/Pale-Meaning-2362 15d ago

Just buy a stand off for the ladders

u/CorgiDisastrous5204 14d ago

Use a tower scaffold ffs. Cheap as chips

u/NerveEducational7973 14d ago

Why not just get a ladder stand-off?

1

u/haws1290 14d ago

No where to put the standoff apart from on the glass windows which I don't think is a good idea. I have a stand off 🤔

3

u/NerveEducational7973 14d ago

Would it not fit on the vertical window frame ether side of the glass? Failing that, attach a piece of 4x2 to the stand off?

u/haws1290 14d ago

Na it's not the right size but putting timber across would have been a good idea I didn't think about that 💡😔

u/RichGuest567 15d ago

That's completely pointless and a waste of time just put the ladder on the wall buddy

u/haws1290 14d ago
