Question: Christmas DecorationThe new property we have just bought has an old Christmas decoration fixed to the chimney stack and we would like to remove same. Please advise a course of action the roof is a tiled pitched type. |
Answer
First always make sure when using a ladder, that it is set up correctly and long enough with a minimum of 3 rungs above the gutter. Always work with someone standing at the bottom of the ladder before you access the pitched roof.
Before you access the pitched roof, make sure to use a roof ladder. This is a purpose built ladder that has wheels to allow you to push it up the sloping roof without dislodging or damaging the slates. When the wheels reach the top of the roof ridge, by turning the ladder over a hook securely lodges on the ridge. Roof ladders can be hired, from your local hire centre.
Consult the DIY safety section for more tips and information on how to use a ladder correctly and safely.
