I need to get to the guttering above a window.

Can I place the ladder on the plastic soffit, will it be okay.


Thanks

Daz.

Perhaps you mean the fascia not the soffit.

Anyway, you should have someone footing the ladder, and, maybe, use a stabiliser stand-off bar that spreads across the window opening - with this device you dont have to lean back.

Be wary of a ladder resting on a slippy plastic or wood fascia. Never rest the ladder on a gutter - plastic or metal.

In theory, 900mm of the ladder should project above the gutter but its not always feasible.
 
Okay so I need a ladder standoff, Which type should I get a Flat one or one which will do corners also.

thanks
