So a doddery old man, climbs a ladder and decides to clear the gutter. What's the worst that can happen? Before you look, see if you can guess. Hope he was insured.
I have never done any guttering or gutter clearing, but I am trying to figure out why he was using a hot air gun. Was he using it as a leaf blower perhaps?
Our window cleaner does ours annually for a meer £12.50 and does a fine job of the underside as well. I would never fancy hanging off a ladder way up there
But could be avoided if they did a "Risk Accessment"
Example, what could go wrong ? Say a fire started, how am'I going to put the fire out ? a garden hose ready, watering can or fire blanket and so on. Do I need to tie the ladder in ? Do I need a buddy holding my ladder. The lists is endless.
The trouble as with most job is, people will go straight into the job without thinking about the risks.
