Ask if you can practise on your family and friend's houses too. Different types of windows and houses are good for experience and it'll make you think / plan how to get round the house in the least amount of time.

I work most weekends including Sundays too without any issues as I like to do exterior house cleans when customers are home as some ppl work during the week. It is also the best time for picking up new work as I often get asked whilst I'm working to give neighbours a quote.

Very true......weekends (well, saturdays in my case) are brilliant for picking up new work and its normally the type of customer you need.....neigbours.......thus keeping your round nice and compact

common mistake is to have your ladder feet too far away from the wall. as said erlier the safest angle is 4:1 ie for every metre away from the wall it must be 4 metres up the wall. basically for normal houses you dont want the feet more than 1 metre away from the wall

Hi if it is not too late the ladders I use (started 6 months back) are these from Midland ladders (link below) £116, there Trade & have feet which makes them real steady I got the triple set 2.5M will reach the guttering on the majority of 2 floor residential 5.6M extended (which for me is high enough without someone footing it!)
