ive binned most of my call aheads but carry little giants and a garden hoe to hook bolts with

I like the garden hoe idea. I use an unger pole with a gutter screw and a couple of nuts which works quite well.

I think long sticks with a hook is excellent idea for undoing bolts , but I still have those that have padlocks on

That's where the little giant comes into play.

What I cant figure out is why all those window cleaners who are in need of work
don't target these properties.
I'm sure there are people out there who are fed up having to jump through hoops
just to please a window cleaner who's getting well paid and wants as little to do as possible.
We all know its not a hard job to put a little giant ladder over a gate and climb over without
damage to the gate or harm to yourself.
