Forgot to say -

first thing on cold days when ladders are totally frost bound!!

Had another one today, gravel all over the roof. I hate that feeling when you weight goes down on it and you are half on and half off the ladder. I will only go on a flat roof If I can tie the ladder in. That way I can hold on to the ladder without pulling it over.

Vince,

interesting you say that. I ALWAYS tie the ladder if it's up against guttering. Just feel the need, windy or not. Gives me a sense of security when getting on and off. Don't usually do so with flat roofs as often there is just nowhere to tie to.

As you have a strong dislike for stepping off of ladders onto flat roofs, may I suggest you try a pair of 'stabilad' stabilisers arms fitted to the the bottom stiles (sides)of your ladders to prevent sideway twists of your ladder. They only take seconds to fit and remove. Would certainly cure your fear
