I was trad for 24 years and went wfp last year

It depends on my mood whether i trad bottoms or not but the ladders only really come out for access over flat roofs etc

If I'm tradding bottoms i just put my belt on with a bottle of soap and water then wfp tops then go round bottoms

A 3m double is usually sufficient for most Windows... The lyte Elt230 or I have the 330, as it means I only have to carry one ladder, using only 2 sections generally, but having the 3rd for anything a bit higher or gutter jobs... A window cleaners pointer ladder can be very useful, however they are a fair bit more expensive than a regular ladder...

are you 100% this way or are you still doing trad work on some upstairs properties?

Depends on whether i'm running low of water or sometimes i just feel like tradding. I also trad above flat roofs

You could wfp tops and trad bottoms and not buy ladders until you have built up some work and just avoid awkward access ones etc for a few weeks until you have cash flowing in

100% here where I can get away with it - some houses (ones with lots of roof access required) are just easier with a ladder though. You'll learn when and where to use both as you get through your workflow.
