I want to re apply mastic round our bedroom window and will have stand on the roof of our conservatory,it is a polycarbonate roofed one,are they safe to stand on?,no chance of using a ladder

[dumbo]

you can stand on them but if it was me i would put a plank of some sort down first just to be safe

[scottbott]

how would I stop it sliding of the ridged roof(forgot to mention that)

[moggymorgan]

As said, I used a sheet of loft flooring to stand on when painting the walls.much safer than standing on the roof.

Hi cant you do it from the inside? I do this a lot, easier to just take one or both of the openers out and do lt that way, wood or plastic easy to take off, with plastic you need 2 one to hold whilst you take the screws out to stop it falling. Dicey going on a polycarbonate roof.

Sounds like a job for 'ladders & string'. Hard to tell without a pic.

Aren't those polycarb sheets fairly easy to remove, the ones I have seen are held in with a plastic cover that clips into the frame. If you removed a panel you could get a ladder up to the window.

[scottbott]

will have to have a think about this I reckon,or send the wife up!

[Smcknighty]

They are pretty easy to remove, I did that to clean mine

[scottbott]

actually managed to take off the roof vent and got a long ladder to poke up through and it was under the window so I did it that way,the hardest part was getting a long ladder through the conservatory with breaking anything
