with going to an abottoir.
Need to get up the ladders at the weekend and burn paint off the top of the front elevation as the lenght of the gas bottle hose is to short for leaving it on the bay roof I need to hang it on one of the rungs of the ladder near to where Im working.

Have you got a decorators' supplies shop (e.g. Crown decorators centre) near you? They certainly used to sell hooks for paint kettles.
Metal coat hanger formed as necessary??

On a 6.4Kg bottle weight. Nah! :-)
Not strong enough?
Any of these any good?
Ta for that but I doubt whether they'll get here for tomorrow. ;-)
I'll pop into the butchers and ask has he a spare one,probably I'll buy some meat first. ;-)
Sorry I thought you were just talking of something to hold the hose whilst you did some scraping etc!!!

Don't use a meat hook, they've got sharp pointy ends!
Real decorator's suppliers (Crown are good) sell hooks. Otherwise bend one up. If you're worried about dropping it, use a loop of baler twine instead of an S. If you need easy attachment _and_ you're worried about dropping it, a karabiner. If you're working near me and you have the local yoof nicking things while you're up the ladder, try a carbine.
Couple of ladder hooks bolted back to back?
Got a Screwfix near you?

Dunno about meat hooks, but I know of a place that sells billhooks. And fork handles, O's and pumps.
Just about any kitchen shop. Given that you are not using it to impale a half side on get one that has balls at the end rather than being sharp. You'll be grateful if you slip.
Lanyard and a clove hitch?

Any chinese supermarkets nearby ? - they'd probably do something suitable too...
I use a *large* cable tie. Its releasable and is very useful for other things like fixing the top of the ladder to things to stop it falling.
