Ladder Trepidation

I got the rung ladder out this morning in order to remove an abundance of bright, yellow weeds from the guttering. No sooner had I placed it against the wall that I suddenly got cold feet. There are a few chores that I can manage using the ladder; however, without someone to hold it steady, I simply don't have the confidence, to be quite truthful.

I'll ask my neighbour for a recommendation; preferably somebody easy to pay, to coin an old colloquialism. Can any readers recommend someone in the Belmont area of Belfast? I only require two sections to be cleaned - not the whole house. What is the standard rate?
