Tony Evans of "A New View window cleaning" braves the snow & gives us another episode in the new "weather or not" winter edition concentrating on ladder safety. Tony now produces his own hard water powder - it can be seen at his blog here.

Chris Dawber adjustments to his mini pole for his water fed pole set-up. The second video is a mini-pole update. Here's another way of connecting it to a flow tap if you already have one on your supply hose.

Ladders Become Safer

The ladder limpet from Laddatec Ltd is now available in the UK & shortly in the US. I have been using the original version of this wonder, for quite a few months now ever since my ladder mat gave way on a slippery surface & the ladders fell with me on top. I can testify this is the only device I can now trust to stop ladder slippage. The LaddaLimpet is based on the original design but the new patented Pin Design and locking configuration is far superior to the original, and with 20 fewer component parts it is easier to adjust and use.

LaddaLimpet® is a ladder stabilizer which gives you peace of mind and confidence to get the task done safely and quickly. LaddaLimpet’s versatility and adjustability allows you to position the ladder at the precise angle that you need to work safely. The LaddaLimpet can be fitted & removed in seconds. Helps reduce outwards slip, ladder twist & sideways movement. They also compensate for uneven ground.

The product was invented and developed by Ian Menelaus (pictured below) of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire. WIN (Welsh Assembly Government) exhibited the LaddaLimpet® at the International Exhibition of Invention in Geneva in April 2007 where it was awarded a Gold Medal and the Prize of the Malaysian Association of Research Scientists (MARS).
LaddaLimpet® is now approved by the Association of Professional Window Cleaners (APWC).
