some window cleaners are just not interested in WFP.i know a few trad guys and they seem decent enough guys but ive seen them hanging off slate roofs in wind,using b and q ladders on gravel driveways etc.some of them have been going 20 years or more and they still have to shout "get up a ladder mate!and do em properly!"when they see me working with a pole.

yes lots of window cleaners are stupid!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

what a load of bull! its just showing how unsafe people work! (I didn't film this)

I have a 9m triple extension ladder that I use at times, fully out, not work shy at all, and only really have 1 day a week that I'm not doing anything work related!

this show how unsafe some work and the risk of losing there life just for a few quid! without a care on what would happen to there family if anything did happen, if he fell he would be dead, no more cares in the world. his friends and family will have to pick up the pieces!
plus not caring for the home owners property or even the home owner themselves  either as it would come down to them as well and they could get in trouble for allowing them to work like this!

Need to watch with the sound down especially with smalls around. But it was truly gobsmacking, in all my life I have never seen anything so stupid. And all for a £1.50 window. I doubt the home owners would be impressed.

I'm certain these two guy's wont be newbies at all, rather seasoned window cleaners with years of traditional window cleaning and ladder work. I'm in no way condoning their method of work as it's clearly NOT good practice. But guy's with no experience of window cleaning "newbies" would struggle to get those ladders in place, let alone get up there, clean the windows, get back down with no damage to themselves or the roof   ;D

why would they even attempt to work like that, surely if they where going to use a ladder then I think using one straight from the floor to above the top window would not be too far out provided it was footed correctly, I am not one to meddle in how others carry out their work but if I had witnessed that I would of had a word with them and shown them a safer way to do them, as for grassing them up I don't think that will achieve much apart from getting them an hefty fine but they do need showing a safer way to work
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

I agree trevor, sadly someone will report this and a few livelihoods will be lost to heavy fines in a few months time, and possibly a home owner fined too, sad when a bit of eduction would suffice
