Go to local fancy dress shop and hire spiderman outfit.

Put your pockets on , get a rope and ask customer can you hang out of bedroom window, when neighbours see you

no a proper cony ladder spreads your weight over 2 spars at a time,and over a larger area, i personally wouldnt use them just due to being a heavy lad i am 18 and a half stone so wfp everytime for me lol

Out of interest, how do you get over the problem of reach without using a ladder. 

Quite a few conservatories that I've cleaned have flat sloping roofs and the pole hits the leading edge before i can get the brush to make contact with the rear of the roof.  I have a 12" gooseneck fitted but even that isn't enough.

ive used one of them ladders,i wouldnt want to use it without someone footing the ladder not like that guy in the pic.

i also found the ladder didnt go far enough to clean the other side which was against the house
