Thank you I will! :-)

Good job what did you charge if you dont mind me asking??

[P @ F]

I will probably get laughed at here , i charged £40 , but when you think about the fact that it took 40 minutes in total with moving from front to back and all packed up to go , thats a £1 a minute , i wish i had jobs like that all day every day !
I didnt even bother with my vac as access was as you could see a doddle , the best bit is that there is another 7 of them in a row all with the same landlord , and they all have to be done , kills me to be honest £££££££

Carry on working like that and it probably will kill you, shocking   :

Not the safest way of doing it, but at least they are clean!

Id charge the same mate. Even if it took an hour i'd be happy.

You would 9 times out of 10 get repeat custom to clear gutters at that price, but I bet you wouldnt if you charged seven grand like some of the people on here think they do.

Good work.

Impact 43 , where is the danger ?

Neither ladder is tall enough to climb off it safely
Climbing over the railings
Ladder on timber decking without anything to stop it slipping
Ladder set at wrong angle leaning on railings to stop it
Ladder leaning on a the edge of a sloping roof
Climbing over moss covered sloping roof

Think that's it.

Yes but if you would have done it with your machine, it would have looked more professional plus you could have charged at least £20 more

From what I can see.... The ladder on the wooden decking (a-frame by looks of it) albeit is at the wrong angle.... But is PERFECTLY SAFE that ladder, aint going nowhere, its backed up against the railings, unless the man weighs 3tonne, that ladder going nowhere, in fact, I bet that ladder would bend in the middle before it slips

Does the landlord use a power mower or electric mower to cut that lawn on that roof. Its obvious winter as its a little  patchy.Need more watering, Me thinks.

Exactly.

The fact that it is at a lower angle than the ideal '3 to 1' isn't relevant, as that formula is to give the best resistance to the ladder bottom slipping outwards.  Of course the railing could wrench free of its anchor points, and the ground under the house could collapse into an undetected subterranean cavity causing the entire building to fall down.......

One point I would make regarding the ladder which seems to have been used to gain access onto the pitched roof - it isn't long enough, as has been mentioned and it would have been safer to set it against the house wall close alongside the extension and a few rungs higher so that a simple step sideways would give safe access.  As to whether the roof itself is safe to walk on............lots of moss and lichen - could be very slippery

[P @ F]

R.C. Do you ever get any work done ?

It has become clear now that you are an IMPACT 43 drone !

The pointer was not there to access the roof , just to reach the gutter, it was footed against the railing ,not just standing on that oh so slippery balcony !
Ok not the perfect angle , but it didnt cause a prob .

As for the other ladder , i did not work from it and at no point was i using any higher rung than 3 from the top

How do you get onto a balcony without getting over the railings ?

The moss covered roof was about 10 metres long , so i reckon i may just have been able to avoid falling of it.

Of course i did have the cherry picker booked to land me over the railings , and full scaffolding booked front and back , but alas they both let me down !

Good job really because i dont think they would have paid £640 as opposed to £40 .

As mentioned earlier , MAN UP , dont be a Willis zombie !

Oh and by the way , if your so H+S friendly , you should take a look at your van , its well over its weight bud !!!!!

Yer get plenty of work done thanks lol.

Yer I've been on the training but that's it.

You just ask what was wrong so that's what would of been said,

As for my van its not overweight at all, it's been weighted on a police approved weighbridge and passed, other wise I wouldn't be driving it!

How many guys take there vans onto a weighbridge to find out there weights??

[P @ F]

Mr Lancaster , nice points there  thankyou , but in regard to the pitched roof access ladder , the way it was positioned was for the best as if i had used the house wall it would have meant footing it on mossy steps as opposed to the party wall with next door , i would have prefered a little more length myself but hey you cant have it all can you .
