these guys get paid bank, not many people are willing to put up with the danger...
i cannot imagine people doing this kind of work without proper compensation for the massive risk.

How much do you reckon he can ask for, what are his overheads, and what can his profits be - in estimated amounts?

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: not sure about UK or whatever... but in the USA in the 1960s or so, highrise workers made 100k base wages for putting up gurters and stuff so i would guess if dibnah has regular work he would probably be making something like 200k - 400k per year in regular wages potentially... expenses would be ladders/tools, if the ladders are made well then they last so replacement is not regular but hammers and chisels would be needed to be replaced fairly regular and that expense would be minimal... rope would probably be the highest expense as far as regular replacement because they have to be made specifically for that, since they have to be able to hold well as well as be supple.... not sure on taxes/fuel/utilities, family expense for food and clothing etc. would be substantial... between what i can guess at in regards to regular expenses and his hobby he would most likely spend about half of his money each year on family/hobby and maybe 1/100th on overhead costs for all of the stuff he needs for his job plus paying for spotters/helpers when necessary... this is all assuming that he owns his business and is not working for someone else; so he can still save 1/4 at the least of his total earnings (percentage is much higher usually more than regular workers living paycheck to paycheck, guessing he takes well care of his family and wife)

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: that would be my guesstimation, could/probably be way way off...
