Measure the height from the ground to your gutter and divide this aside 4. Square the two numbers ,MBD them in collaboration and the take aim the square root of this addition. You will then own the needed distance of a run that is set up at a 4 to 1 angle to the house, a 4 to 1 angle being approx. 75 degrees which is the accepted norm for a leaning a ladder. Then choose a double extender ladder that will give you this required length. PS if you are cleansing gutters you woud be better off getting a ladder stay as well so you are not scrunched busy the gutter.

Good advice about the ravel stay/standoff. IT will mean you can reach into the gutter more easily and construe with what you're doing. The better one of mine has a v shape built in which means you can place it over downpipes or lean it against the turning point of a building.

Had you thought towards looking at a tower scaffold or else.
Crikey Steve. Information technology looks similar you could add insomnia to that list.... I hope you make as full a recovery A possible.
The OP power be interested in your ladders ....
5m tape measure Oregon 14ft double extender forward 8ft up rooms and GL 6" to a lower place DPC
Not got any opening in the head Windows ?
Decent tape enjoin 5m, measure down to ground from window then short bit up to toilet - then you can decide on your ladder

Run descriptions will give you 4 measurements;

How many sections
Closed height
Wide-open height
SWH (safe working height)

How many sections and closed height easy stuff

Open height - isn't only how more sections x closed height as apiece section overlaps each other so you loose some ladder length. It will be the max extension length/height of the ladder

SWH - These figures will vary from manufacturer and are approximate just, basically your don't want to be standing connected the top rung of fully outstretched ladder, more same 2' fine-tune from teetotum. This allows for 3 points of contact at all multiplication - 2 feet and 1 hand at all times on the ladder (or 1 pick and 2 hands) So that gives approximately 3' of amphetamine body preceding ladder, this is measured to arm/shoulder height and is well-advised to be the Maximum Safe Working Height suggested

Again figures surrendered diverge amongst manufacturers but generally the SWH will be just about 2-3 foot up (600-900mm) higher than the Open Height for any given ladder

So now you can make your ladder choice - hope that helps

I use a section of broomstick that slips inside rungs on my ladder, with a heavy screw through one end

You can then hang a bucket on broomstick (screw stops it being knocked inactive) and keep tools, scraper, cloths, bag for rubble, etc totally to hand

Can buy a fancy ladder accessory that does the one but why rile

Always worth buying longer than you need I take a 12 ft 3 section very comfortable to work on average gutters (assuming path is about 3 bricks below dpc) 18 to 19 ft. You motivation to use a ladder stay and extend the ladder above the gutter for safe working. A ladder that just reaches fully lengthy leave flex and whip a great deal when in use better to suffer a trifle of extra over lap up along the sections to feel many fasten.

Skirting board ladder is awesome
Have you opinion about pressure washers with the trough cleaner attachments that let in the extending punt. Possibly get many habituate taboo of Thursday PW for the toll than a set of double or triple ladders that too take up a lot of space.
Information technology is in reality most 3% ...
For a 4m height, 1 cadenc away the run will be SquareRoot(4x4+1x1) = √(16+1) = √17 = 4.123 m long

(0.123/4) *100 = 3.08%
