Yes, Hire a roof ladder.


Your suggesting I attach roof ladders to each of my trainers?

If you have nothing to say, SAY NOTHING!

Your post does not contribute. The roof ladder aspect has already been
mentioned and clearly, from previous posts, is not what was asked.

My question is simple, as plainly are you.

I do not see a reason to list the equipment in use nor the specifics on the
job in hand when asking a simple question.

Just to humour you (it shouldn't take much) I do have roofladders and use
them. They are not appropriate to cover every foot of every roof. Sometimes
it is necessary and safer to step away from ladders rather than move them.
Having done this many times I wondered whether anyone on this forum had come
across a product that would increase confidence in the grip my footwear
gives me when I have a foot or both off the ladders.

Now I can see you are the type to erect scaffolding to clean windows so
perhaps you might realise your comments are inappropriate for many people
who apply a certain measure of common sense to their safety precautions.
