Change panel/bargeboards

[coztello]

Hi,
I have two bay windows (I'm not sure about the terminology but you can see what I mean in the pictures) and I'm wondering how the heck I should replace/paint the paneling and fascia boards safely.

The roof is quite steep but one way I've considered is to remove the roof tiles and stand on the battens.

Tips are gratefully received!

Maybe you can paint from inside?

Well, I'm going to replace the paneling on the sides (and paint there as well) so I don't have quite such long arms

You can rent smaller scaffolding and railing at a rental place. Otherwise, it's a good idea to push up the tiles and stand on the battens.

Skylift?

Can't get in with a skylift at the back (chain house and large hedge delineate). Had been considering borrowing some ladders (of the type one normally has up to chimneys... http://www.byggmax.se/tak/takpannor/taksteg-universal-svart-p05530

Anyone have thoughts on my proposal?

A scaffold where the floor level is at the height of the gutter.
Then remove a few tiles so you can stand a bit better.
You need a scaffold if you want to do a good job; if you're wobbling, it won't be good and it's also dangerous.
Renting a section of Haki scaffold doesn't cost much. Make sure to have all the materials at home so you can do it in a couple of days.

Mobile crane out on the road and a hanging basket to work from.

I used roof steps when I replaced the panel on the side of my dormer. Although my roof is "only" 40 degrees, and the roof steps are far from a perfect solution, I found it much better than standing on individual protruding tiles like I did the previous year.

After dismantling the roof tiles, I noticed that they hadn't skimped on the battens, as there was 45x70, so there was no problem standing on them and working... 1/4 done...
