General ladder work and height access done safely with proper equipment. Change bulbs, clean windows, check gutters, trim high hedges - anything you need doing but can't safely reach yourself.
### When You Need to Go High But Shouldn't
There's something that needs doing **up high**. External light bulb gone. Gutter overflowing. Bedroom window covered in cobwebs. Clematis taking over the wall.
You've got a ladder. You could probably do it. But you're **not 25 anymore**, and falling off a ladder onto concrete isn't on this week's to-do list.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Falls from height are the second most common cause of serious home accidents. If you're hesitating, there's a reason - trust your instinct and get someone who does this regularly.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Victorian/Edwardian houses in Exeter?** Your high ceilings and tall windows are beautiful but a pain for maintenance. Often need extending ladders to reach the upstairs windows or gutters safely - exactly the kind of ladder work where calling a pro makes sense. **What I can't do:** Anything needing scaffolding (re-roofing, repointing high walls, painting whole house exteriors). For that you need proper scaffolding erectors. I'll tell you honestly if a job's beyond ladder-safe access. **Multiple jobs?** If you've got a list of high-up jobs - change 3 bulbs, clear the gutters, check the aerial, trim the ivy - do them all in one visit. I'm already there with the ladders, costs you less than multiple callouts. **Seasonal regulars:** Some customers have me come twice a year - spring gutter clear, autumn gutter clear. Or Christmas lights up in November, down in January. Regular maintenance is cheaper than emergency repairs from overflowing gutters.
Frequently Asked Questions about Ladder work general in Tiverton
What kind of ladder work can you do?
Pretty much anything at height - cleaning high windows, changing exterior bulbs, checking gutters, fixing loose soffits, hanging Christmas lights, cutting back high hedges. If it needs a ladder and you don't fancy doing it yourself, that's what I'm here for.
How high can you safely work?
I've got extending ladders that reach most domestic heights (up to about 25ft), plus proper safety equipment. For anything higher than that, we'd need scaffolding or a cherry picker - I'll tell you honestly if a job's outside what I can safely do.
Is this safe? Are you insured?
Yes and yes. I'm trained in working at height, use proper equipment (not a wobbly old ladder from the shed), and fully insured for this type of work. It's what you're paying for - doing it safely so you don't have to risk it.
Can you do the actual job as well, or just provide ladder access?
Both. If it's something simple like changing a bulb or clearing a gutter, I'll do that. If it's more specialist (electrical work, roofing repairs), I can provide safe access for you or another tradesperson.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Ideally yes, at least at the start to show me what needs doing. For straightforward jobs like gutter cleaning I'm happy to work while you're out once I know what's needed. Your call.
