wfp is the way forwod

[mci services]

3m double will do around 99% of jobs residential out of 240 odd residential customers only two would need a 3.5m/4m double

but i do them all wfp now

[Paul Coleman]

3.5m would be better IMO.

[martinsadie]

i carry a 3m for most jobs,but have a 3.5 for a few jobs

[dazmond]

i dont think 3 m doubles will be enough as sometimes you have to put ladder up above a 1st floor window.i would say go for the 3.5metre as that covered all my first floor work.

better to have a bit extra than not enough!!

im glad im not climbing em 100+ times a day anymore!after 16 years it gets a little wearing!!!

check that the pointer ladders have splayed legs at the bottom.i read on here,recently ,that some are now made without splayed legs, thats LETHAL 

[barry mallett]

make sure the point goes to the top and not in the ground . a lot of tradders do make this common mistake 

[Londoner]

A bigger ladder will do more windows but for 95% of the jobs you don't need it and you are lugging a heavier ladder around un necessarily.

Ive been using a double 3m for about 3 months now ... does all of my houses no problem .. not a pointer ... had to be a 3m as I keep them inside my van as roof too high.

i used a 3m double for 3 years of trad cleaning,

st1allstar was the ladder a pointer or a normal ladder

see something this morning that has put me off for life
a lad was connecting a irrigation system high level in a greenhouse fell from about 5 metres bones we poking out both legs in about 3 places he was squaling like a pig

i think this probably sums up the true benefits of using wfp

after seeing that today  it certainly made me think about using ladders again

it was a normal ladder, bought it from midlands ladders http://www.midlandladders.com/products/Double_3_0m_9ft10_Trade_Light_Industrial_Ladder-10-7.html
