Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2021I used the standoff to replace a section of guttering at the top of my house which was leaking. I had previously done a temporary repair in the past but it was awkward because I was right up against the gutter and had little room to work. It was the best I could do at the time. At first I thought about hiring scaffolding but the cost was prohibitive. A standoff was recommended to me by a neighbour and he offered to lend me one but I decided to purchase one as the price was reasonable and I could do the work at my own convenience. Assembly was straightforward after watching a Utube video from the same company. When I attached this to the ladder I was able to position the ladder so that I was directly above the gutter. It made the work much easier and gave the ladder so much stability (note that I did properly secure the bottom of the ladder) I felt safe enough to use both hands to detach the old section of gutter, which was too short, with a new section of gutter of the correct length with new rubber seals. I was also able to put a new bracket near the top of the downpipe to give the downpipe extra stability during heavy winds. So it made an awkward job and potentially dangerous one into an easier, safer task as well as saving me money. If you have not got one and use a ladder from time to time, as I do, then it is a good buy at a competitive price.
