I work for a hire company and the H&S rules change daily, but I'm sure that one still stands. H&S rules do not apply when you as the owner carry out maintenance at your own property,,you are not at "work" so theres nothing for them to rule on......

Dougy Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hats off to you, kind of, No way would i be going up any further than the 1st platform, i went stalking once (well up a high seat) took me 1/2 hour to climb up it, then finally at the top i had to do it all again to fetch my rifle. That's a job for the professionals, they get paid for falling down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a job for the professionals, they get paid for falling down. I impressed myself TBH - not the greatest fan of heights - I nearly soiled myself up Blackpool tower several years ago walking out of the lift onto the glass floor!!! However on this occasion I didn't have any problems. As I said earlier, I am cautious enough to take my time, but not too cautious to second guess myself which is when a lot of mistakes happen. Also - for the majority I was able to butt up to the house for the at full height stuff which with the outriggers made it stable. The rest was done at the second platform where guttering was without the top platform on. By the end of Sunday though I had had enough of climbing up and down it!! It is now in pieces up the side of the house for collection today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
