I'm going to be phoning round hire places, but meanwhile...

....what size cherry picker am I likely to need to access a chimney pot
roughly 27 metres up and 3m away (horizontally) from the nearest part of
the cherry picker base?

We did find someone local with a cherry picker but they said it didn't
have the reach.

Ideal (probably) would be the ones the council use to service the street
lights and loan to the Lions to put up the Christmas decorations.
These come on a flat bed truck with corner steadies.
However not being a local Councillor I probably couldn't borrow one ;-)

I could remove some of the plastic sheets from the car port as a temporary
measure but taking things apart almost always leads to further problems.

Cheers
