For routine 1st floor windows, a two tier ladder would be best.

Ensure you don't buy a light-weight set from 'B & Q'.  Your ladders should be safety tested to BSEN 131 - they should have yellow feet.

When the feet start wearing down, change them regularly. 

Don't be like some of the local window cleaners I know who wear the ladders feet down to the alluminium; and carry on using them.

I've fallen from B & Q ladders and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Also do a search on this site for ladder mats and a Rojak ladder stopper.

Both are top bits of kit.
