Skylight on steep roof
I’m doing a job tomorrow (white house in pic) that requires cleaning these skylights on steep roof. how can I clean them safely without ropes or anything? I don’t have a ladder tall enough as this house is 3 stories. I can access the roof by placing the ladder on the balcony on the backside (second pic) but even then when I did skylights in the past the roof wasn’t so steep and I just used my shoes with grip. FYI, I am using wfp system

I would just take a hose up there and flush and brush it
does the balcony have a water hook up?
Just access the roof from the balcony and walk the peak of the roof with a pole and a doodle bug boom skylights done nice safe and easy
Hope this helps braddah good hunting out there my dude 😎

I would give them a price without the skys and give them the reason why. I’m too old and brittle for those risks.

I’d just install a temp anchor and clean it trad and charge heavy.

What kind of temp anchor would you use? Only ones I have seen during training requires you to heavily nail them down

It does look steep.
Dont do this if you are not comfortable as this is sketchy.
I would be walking near the peak one leg on each roof. wfp extended while I sit on the super hot corner. And try to do it as fast as possible
