(I'm re-sending this because whist Agent says it has been sent, I
can't see it on the ng. Sorry if it's a duplicate). I would like to be able to get up to the gutters / soffits on this two story Victorian cottage and don't currently have a suitable ladder. This wouldn't be for any extended work, just replacing the lamp in floodlight that covers the back garden or removing debris from the gutters etc. I like the idea of the telescopic ladders from a storage / portability POV but I have only ever footed a 3.2m one but I'm assuming I'd be looking at something quite a bit longer to reach such heights (probably 5+m)? It looks like I can do those sorts of things I need with a ladder from the guidance he https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg455.pdf .... and I would be able to secure the ladder appropriately so the question is really around the practicability feasibility of telescopic ladders of that sort of length? I'm guessing they wouldn't make them if no one bought them and from the specs I've seen they could easily support my weight etc ('ladder max load 150kg' etc). I really wouldn't be using such regularly but would just like to be able to myself if required (or send tree climbing daughter up there whilst I foot it etc). ;-) What does the panel think, advice on makes / models etc please? Cheers, T i m |
