Lol option B looks like a good reason for a ladder, I am going to overhang the roof so it will be this type of ladder.

It all looks very professional Martin but I suspect when the dish goes up your neighbours will be accusing you of being a Russian spy

Thanks T, its one of the things I do for a living so no excuse for it not looking professional, I have already been asked if I'm a Russian spy lol, my surrounding neighbours know its going up, I went round door to door before I applied for planning for the dish and asked if they had any objections and asked them to sign yes are no proposal for it, no one objected and I guess that went a long way to get the permission :)
