Depends how often you are going to use it , I went wfp to do away with going up ladders clambering over fences and messing on going over flat roofs .

I only use mine to access a few windows a month which are set right back over  flat roofs which are impossible to reach with pole

So for me anything over a £100 is not worth the spend for such infrequent use  ;) . Mike

Great ladder Steve, but as above we use ladders very rarely we have a telescopic 3mtr which does reach flat roofs, and is ce marked cost £65 off flea bay. It's ONLY used for access, it's not for working off, other than a squirt of lubricant in the winter months it's worked great.

I did have one before that got abused ie.. People using it on rough uneven ground using while cleaning cony roofs and general misuse and broke after a year, but it did get a hell of a bashing with an 19 stone man on it
