I have a hall, stairs and landing to paint. The ceilings are 9 foot high so the highest point of the landing ceiling is 16 feet from the stair tread directly below it, if you see what I mean. Due to a bannister rail and spindles I cannot get a ladder across the stairs from the landing area. I am thinking of using ladders and a plank or two to reach this part. Will a scaffold plank supprt my weight (14 stone) over a 7 foot span and also where can I get a plank from without resorting to nicking one from a building site ;^)? I live in Leeds.
Cheers
John
