Speculating as usual.
I have ladders but cleaning a semi-circular bay window is a bit precarious
and involves a lot of moving of ladder.
I also have a caravan which would benefit from a roof clean every 6 months
or so.
Hiring a platform looks to be around £100 a go.
Buying one around £1,000.
I've just seen an advert fro a "platform tripod ladder" which is mainly
aimed at cutting very tall hedges but it does get you up there on a more
stable platform than a leaning ladder.
These seem to come in at around £300 for 3 metres plus, but cheapest may
not always be best.
Upstairs window cill is about 3.7 metres off the ground.
Anyone got one of these tripod ladder thingies?
I have a cheap one:

It has square rungs rather than a stepladder type platform so not as
comfortable a perch, but it does for the jobs I need to do and was
cheaper than fancier types.

The main potential down side is having to work sideways on but I don't
think that is a major issue.
