When cleaning guttering, don't be tempted to lean to one side and over-reach yourself to avoid having to move the ladders.
The ladders may twist or topple sideways if you do.0 -
I'm a nervous ladder user, I prefer the variety with a wide bar at the bottom to add stability, and also a stand-off frame at the top. Having someone at the bottom to make sure the feet don't move is re-assuring.
If budget allows, renting a small commercial-quality scaffolding tower is worth considering.0 -
It's a shame our house has an open passageway down the side of it (no roof, side of house on one side, next door tall wall on the other - next doors house is higher up than ours) as it's a little too open to put a ladder.
Might have a look at a fence and gate to section that bit off though, as I'd feel better storing them there out of the public view. No where else for them to go.
I saved these for looking later on:

We were looking at a website who come round and do them using some sucker vac thing with no ladder for £50(gets rid of leaves and the dirt) but we will still need a ladder to get these light fixed now its pitch black at 5am and late at night0

At the height you want that will just be an extension ladder.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0 -
sorry do you mean these are not high enough?0

Use the money to pay someone else who is used to working at height.
Going up even a good ladder to height, with your best buddy footing it can be a scary. Going up and cleaning gutters with one hand, without a stand-off, and no practice at a lower level will NOT be pleasant, and perhaps not safe.0 -
