I second that, every time I look at the forecast we are getting hit with it. Supposed to be good this week though, so hopefully we get an early finish this week

Ive no chance of an early finish this week. Ive gota bungalow roof to pressure wash, 2 gutters to clean and if I have time a drive to pressure wash. Although I can move the drive to next week if need be.

A customer asked me if I pressure washed roofs today, but I have never thought of it. Is there much specialised equipment that you need to do that? or training etc?

You would need some sort of experience to do it. I wouldnt jump up on a roof and clean it if you have never done it before. , As for equipment, harness and a roof ladder does me fine.

I go climbing at the weekends, so I can belay and abseil. But I have always wondered about this. What do you hook on to on the roof?

What do you attach the harness to ?

What do you attach the harness to ?

ask the customer if their got a cat or dog if they say yeah... take the cat/dog up with u and attach it to the cat/dog /emoticons/smile.png

Should be a pice of cake for you then. I hook it on to the ladder

I did think the cat ladder but thought if you fell maybe it would just pull the ladder off therefore being pointless ?

 

[laddergarder]

that what I figured. I have climbing harnesses, etc. Not to sure it that would be ok to use, I think its probably a higher rating that most industry harness, as falls are common with rock climbing so the gear has to be good.

I could only see that happening if you stepped of the ladder and tried to walk along the other side of the roof. As long as you stay on the ladder it will be fine.

What are the health and safety implications on that method of use ???

I know exactly what you were trying to do, to be honest im dissapointed. You knew full well that it never complied with with H&S yet still asked anyway,

No I didn't that is why I asked ? Why would I ask a question if I already knew the Answer ????

keep taken people off your round like this and you will end up with non! plus word of mouth would get around too!

i think that if you are not standing up shaking all about with the pressure spray it should be fine, keeping low to the ladder itself, like sitting on the rungs, it wouldnt come off the roof.

tell you the truth im not 100% sure.

if you look at the guys that put up the adverts on the billboards, they have a ladder up, then the strap the ladder to the board itself to stop it slipping, then they have a harness with a strap to the ladder to stop them falling, so only guessing it might be ok, not the 100% safest way but still
