This might be a silly question, but I wonder how you would go about getting up on a roof to replace a roof fan.
At first, I thought it might work with just a ladder, but it doesn't feel stable or safe.
Then I considered renting scaffolding, but that will only help me reach the roof's height, then I'd have to go about 1.5 m diagonally to work with the fan.
My last thought is to rent a trailer lift, but I don't know if this is too ambitious.
Do any of you who have done something similar have any advice?

Work safely. If using a lift feels right, go for it.
Ladder up to the roof and then harness and rope up to the roof. And then harness and rope that is made to support against, kept taut at all times.
