Access to hidden side of roof

[moneypitman]

My house is built with multiple slate roofs and being surrounded by trees, gutters need regular cleaning.

I can do most of the cleaning, however there is one box gutter that I can't reach as this face of the roof abuts a wall for 6m. Access to this gutter is also impacted by a low level roof which being old I wouldnt trust to take my weight. This means to get to where the leaves collect is 9m from a ladder.

Any ideas? I did think of accessing from the other side, over the ridge and down- but not fully sure if this would work/very safe.

Thanks

Get some scaffolding and move the hopper to a more practical location.

Jeezus Christ! I bet all those roofs were getting along famously, until some nutter put a spanner in the works (the roof with the red stripe across it).

Maintenance nightmare, especially with the trees. You have my sympathies.
