Could anyone advise me on the safe angle a ladder should be at for
working on the outside of the house?
I want to paint the sofits and facias, so advice would be useful
so as I know what size ladders to purchase.
The house is a two storey detached.
Also, where should I purchase the ladders, as I don't think B&Q
are the cheapest.
I am based near Preston, any advice is welcomed.
Personally, I'd look into buying/hiring a tower to work from, rather
than a ladder.
Your mileage may vary, but have you worked at height on ladders? Sh*t,
that's scary.....
{I can't even clean gutters from a ladder -- never mind trying to wield
a paintbrush whilst both hands are white-knuckle gripping the ladder
rungs...
