Frequently Asked Questions
Is ladder work safe?
Yes - we use professional ladders with standoffs, follow proper safety procedures, and are fully insured. We won't attempt anything unsafe - some positions may need alternative access methods.
What if you can't reach some windows?
Most windows are reachable with standard ladders. Extensions, dormers, or awkward positions might need water-fed poles instead. We'll advise on best approach for your property.
Do you do upstairs only?
We can, but usually makes sense to do ground floor too while we're there. Small extra time, much better overall result. Package pricing available.
What about very high properties?
Three storey or above usually needs water-fed pole system rather than traditional ladder. We can advise on best approach when we see the property.
