How high???

How high can we go up a ladder without being stung by health and safety? I have to repair some gutters and clean them . Here's the pic

Thats a bit high for me mate. I don't even like doing windows at that height, let alone the gutters. But I wouldnt have thought you were breeching health and safety regs if you are self employed. Interesting to see what others say though.

How would a roofer fix a broken tile on that building? He'd get his ladders out. Plenty of grass to dig the feet of your ladders in there apart from that side bit.

The company that manage it have said to me to quote it and he doesn't want anyone falling off the ladder whilst doing it he said would you use cherry picker or scaffolding? I would like to say to him it can be done by ladder i won't be fixing the gutters my mate will (he's a roofer) I will use the gutter vac. Do you reckon I would be ok to use the ladder?

tuffers a roofer wound have to put scaffold up now

yep i have to say....my ladders seem to be staying on more than off the roof rack these days.... banana saved my life on friday time wise...

standard ladder insurance is for up to 10 metres [ tho you want to check cos some insurers only cover up to 7 metres or 6 metres only ]

that job you need 10 metre insurance and for sure dont go doing that job alone - price high enough to allow for a helper

ahh and i just told my new insurer yesterday i only go up 5metres.....well every penny counts...

Do a Dave and run :thumbsup:

If the guttering needs to be repaired also the roof valleys cleared etc then they should comply with H&S regs and pay for scaffolding as cherry picker would have limitations due to access and surface it could work on.
