With a couple of footballs, an aerobie and a soggy looking teddy bear on the roof, it's about time you got up there and sorted things out. While you're on the roof you can fix the wonky tiles and mend any little holes that could become big leaks in the not too distant.
Don't wait any longer, make your way up to the roof and use a hired roof ladder to keep you safe. Although the Working at Height Regulations were created in 2005 for the construction industry, they provide us DIYers with oodles of common sense for our own projects. Don't scramble to the roof without thinking carefully about your safety; hire a roof ladder and a scaffold tower to give yourself safe, solid platforms from which to work.
So, how do you use a roof ladder?
Most hired roof ladders are lightweight and designed specifically to access your roof. They have wheels on one side, load-bearing bars to keep roof damage to a minimum and a large hook at one end that clasps the roof ridge.
To position your hired roof ladder safely, standing from the safety of a scaffold tower, roll the roof ladder out over the roof with the wheel-side down. With the hook safely over the ridge, roll the ladder over until the hook is facing down over the ridge. To be absolutely certain that the ladder is in position make sure you can't see the hook.
