best ladders for WFP guys

hello everyone what are the best ladders for wfp guys when you have a big conservatory in the way like this one? what size/number of steps on a stepladder should i get and would a multi purpose ladder be best to keep in the van or just a stepladder? thanks very much for any answers you may have

I went WFP to DITCH my ladders ?‍

I get ya. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Those retractable/extendable ladders might work, but I've heard a few horror stories with them. Failing that just a good sturdy set of step ladders?

i already have a few different ladders i seem to be collecting so many different ladders at the mo this is what i have so far lol i thought the multipurpose one in the image would be a good replacement for the other ones to keep in the van but it needs the stabiliser bar to be attached at all times so takes up too much room in my little van a vauxhall combo and it was supposed to be a replacement for the giant steps and extension ladder lol

I do a window over a conservatory and just stand at the side with the wfp and scrub away. As for ladders i have changed to Zarges ladders which are the lightest I have came across. Bought a Zarge 3m triple ladder and I use it all the time, well worth the £170. 

We use little giant steps-ladder they can be made into different shapes to get into corners or make a platform etc

Great question...was going to ask this!

I just use a set of small step ladders, being 6'5" helps though ?

i am going to start drinking miracle grow and hopefully i will get away with only a small stepladder lol  

I wouldn't use a step ladder for that window. Get yourself one of these;

Have you tried it? I did 2 today of a similar style. You may not get an amazing scrub on the end pane from the side but then a trad guy wouldn't get it at all. Unless you're like Part Timer, he's like 9ft tall, he could probably just reach over and do it trad ?
