Right before we start bashing each other about wfp and trad, if I'm right you said that the bottom window opens inwards and the top window comes down. so this would mean that the windows might be pvc, if that is the case you may find that if you pull the top window down there might be clips on top of the window that might enable you to tilt the window backwards. just a thought alot of the modern pvc sash windows come like this so you can clean them.

Quality is doing it right, even when no-one is looking.

How much are those windows worth? £1. £1.50 each?

I realised after falling off my ladder from the 2nd rung (honestly), that even a twisted ankle is at least the rest of the day off. How much money can be earnt in that time?
It's not even worth risking injury for a window here and there. Never mind risking your life.
Don't risk it for peanuts.

or buy a 30foot unger 5 section TRAD pole and angle adapter and vise versa and fixi clamp for the detailing if u dont want to go down WFP route.if its only for the odd difficult accounts.dont risk it matey.all TRAD one man bands should have a few TRAD poles and swivel squeegys etc IMO as well as ladder mitts and stopper.piece of mind and safer
price higher/work harder!

exactly, if you felt it was ok / safe, you would not have asked the question

deep down you knew the answer, just wanted / needed some1 to point it out

when i started i used a " hand pumped backpack , 20 quid worth " for some  high stuff ( 2nd floor ) i did this specific job like that 2 or 3 times i forget now, it worked ok till i build the trolley system, ok now the battery backpacks are 100 quid, it wouldnt be so much of a issue, but if you dont have that 100 quid yet, a handpumped backpack sprayer works ( 20 quid ) and will enable you to do this job safely
