Or wait until the circus comes to town and ask to borrow a couple of acrobats.

So things like stair combination ladders:

Multi purpose ladders - especially the 4 section ones are handy - they lock in various angles and so can do combinations of up and along:

(you can also lash on a normal ladder at the end to get more reach)
Step platforms to go on a ladder are handy:

Not only can these be used to make it more comfortable to work from a ladder, they can also be used to support the end of a scaffold board[1], to run a platform between two ladders leaning on the same wall or opposing walls.
Or if you want posh, then a tower designed for stair applications:

[1] Wickes are usually cheap for decent quality boards:

A couple of straight ladders with a scaffold board in between them, and be careful how you balance (could probably sling a rope across too, just be sure to lash the board otherwise pulling on the rope will lift the ladders off the walls).
I'm glad I didn't do it that way. Nor spend hundreds of £ unnecessarily.

What ingenious acess methods / bits of access kit can the team come up with or ideally recommend?

What about the other 10feet?
Or the human cannonball...
Thank you John
Helpless as ever!
Thass fine Nige, your "armchair expertise" is not known for helping anyone, even if you do offer anything actually tangible...
