Paul and Sarah,
Thank you for your kind advice.
It is very appriciated.
Paul, I wanted to use ladders as little as possible, so hence the reason I was thinking pole set up.
Sarah, thanks for the link, I've checked out northern tools and the stuff you listed, and it looks like it could be just the ticket.
One more question.... I'm in London, so most houses are terraced, my question is, is there any over spray? I'm worried about putting dirty gutter water all over the next property's paintwork
Once again, thanks for the advice.
Jay
