The timber infill to the platforms (and the trap) is fixed to the platform and what gives it its weight. I've started to sand down the eaves from the tower which I always hated doing from a ladder - I think that this tower will repay the money spent in no time as I had quotes almost twice the cost of the tower for repainting the eaves etc. numbers are charged at the same rate as numbers starting with 01 and 02 and are included in all bundle rates for mobile phones and landlines.

Surely you climb up inside a tower – I’ve never used a harness in all the times I’ve accessed high level on towers, albeit only doing site surveys.You can also use as much or as little of its potential as you want, making it great for full on house painting or just reaching a low gutter.

Secondly, if you get a tower or just hire them, I'd strongly advise you to take the one day training course on scaffolding tower assembly and usage run by many training firms under the PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association) scheme.

Overall , Scaffold Towers are much more versatile compared to ladders, offering you a larger area to work on and less repositioning required. I have also looked at those really high folding step ladder type things - but they seem even less flexible.
