« on: April 22, 2013, 05:34:47 pm »
I thought i better post this on here to educate you lot, as Stuart is doing his best to trip up all the OAPs of Bakewell  ;D

This is for those who dont know how to work on decking safely.

You need a safety matt to cover them rusty nails you have used.

I think you may have pinched this idea from Stuart.

if its too slippy just don't do it,     or start using a pole , never take a chance for a few ££££, it may be your last

Not as ped off as yourself if you came off the ladder.

Actually, Ive not had one customer that selfish to stop me using this technique to ensure my safety.

I use an old bath towel on wet decking. Works for me.

 ;D. That's amazing!!! What an idea, but not one I would employ.....ever. :P
I would never lean an old hammer up against my ladder thinking that it would stop the ladder slipping backwards. You need something heavier than that Matt!

if your using ladders for gutter clearing then a bag of sand will stop your ladder slipping backwards.no need to make holes in the decking!!most customers wouldnt like it IMO.
