Thanks for this, I’m heavy so have opted for three section, its only 2kg heavier and yes well reminded but I had already planned for the standoff. No point looking to see if the gutters are broken by resting a ladder on them. Also I’ll be swinging a brush about and dangerously over reaching so the more stabilisers I have the better.

Length wise either would do it. I prefer a lighter ladder every time. I did buy a 2 part recently from Lyte ladders and the light weight made the job a lot easier. 3 part is useful in some niche situations and a less flexible if you are tall or heavy!
I don't go above gutters but you should probably look at a stand off which gets the ladder top past the gutter while providing you with a bit more balance against the wall.

Always a good idea to have someone at the foot of the ladder if you can as well.
