I 'inherited' a scaffolding tower when my Grandad died... It has to be at least 40 years old because I remember playing on it as a child... It really is incredibly useful, if a little scary at full height... It is possible, though I've only done it once, to paint the gables of our Edwardian house - I reckon at the apex that's got to be well over 30'. I've only done it once mind; too unsafe for me. Outsourced to a decorator last year who did the whole house from ladders!! And bringing it back on track, that was all the exterior woodwork (Windows, doors, soffits, gables) plus a small amount of masonry paint, for just under £2k
