3.5m trade ladders are good for domestics.i dont personally let any customer dictate the method used esp for upper windows.
my ladders are mainly used for the odd flat roof up and overs and opening or jumping a gate!

if a custy wants you to use ladders, tell them no and to get a other wc, if you fall are they going to pay you for the time u r injured the only thing u can do is sue them, if it is there fault
there is a reason h and s dont like ladders

ONLY 2 REASONS I EVER USE A LADDER, FLAT ROOFS AND INTERNAL COMMERCIAL WORK.

i made a mistake and bought trade ladders made by LYTE . these had very sharp edges on every bracket ,not the end of the world but annoying i had to file them smooth. the real downer is that they are VERY HEAVY so id not recommend this make

i recomend 15 rung single section ,ive tryed all sorts or ladders and belive these are a good compromise between weight and height, i used to carry double section 11 rungs all day and they are so heavy i was getting what felt like a hernia on my side from all the twisting under its weight.
15 rung does 90 % of houses and weighs next to nothing

If it's just for occasional use, then I would recomend 3.5m Abru ladders, very light and not too expensive.
