Bungalow needs fascias painted and or part replaced / overclad.
Plastic gutter will have to come off to do this. House is quite large, fascia perimeter is 64m.
Fascia is at height 2.7m above ground.
If I put a ladder against gutter then stability is spongy as it springs off the plastic gutter.
Was thinking best way to get up there is scaffold (on wheels), or some such thing.
But a narrow scaffold tower on screwfix is £800. Thats too much.

Saw this for approx £400 but it has such a small work area would be forever moving it
