I bought the Screwfix ones. They are very good and stable. They do work for going over gates, but with stability comes weight and I wouldn't choose to use them instead of texting. That said, ok for the odd one where the customer forgets.

Can you seperate the screwfix ones in two? So two people can use them for little steps on bungalows etc?

Reason is that I want to be able to use them to get access over gates and onto some flat roofs, but would also like to do away with carrying a frames for the odd downstairs job that I still trad.

I had the little g four rung revolution delivered Friday. Looks very solid. I was talking to a tree surgeon who had one last week he said he'd had his 5 year and still good as new. Just gotta get used to sussing the different combinations now.

Danny this ladder has many uses some for just DIY. Extend as a double, steps, inside velux's off stairs, trestles etc.

Been caught out on a couple of gutter cleans where my Vac wasn't man enough. And my existing folder was about 6 feed short.. I also need to paint the house so a new ladder for the Business seems like an investment at this point in time..
