Hi guys ive just ordered some lyte trade double extension ladders from midland ladders they are 4.88m extended. They should be big enough for domestic work shouldnt they?

Anyone use them any reviews
Thanks in advance

I've had a set of Lytes for 10 years, great ladders (although they don't get used much these days)

Mine are double & 3.5m closed, your's sound a bit short to me.

Oh dont say that argh. They are 3m closed. Hope thel be ok

Will be ok for reaching 1st floor windows but maybe short for reaching gutters.

I'm sure they'll be ok for normal houses, I used to do a lot of bigger country/farm houses etc with mine & there were occasions where a 3m double would have been too short.

 cool ok. As long as they willvdo the job. Ive just set up a couple of weeks ago and still not totally confident with the second hand stairmaster ladder i bought for 15quid.  They are d.i .y not trade and are paint covered and abit oldskool haha. Least these are trade ones

3.0 that size is perfect for the day to day .not too heavy .
 i have two sets of a double  3.0  and  triples 3.0
lyte TRADE , i love them very good treads etc

The only thing to beware is when you get them new ,go over all the edges with a metal file as they often have sharp edges that may not cut you but will certainly hurt you

  another thing is lytes they can come still with factory oil on them,spend half an hour scrubbing it off carefully is what i do

i laffed at your  "stairmaster" ,
 theyre lovely n light n cheap as chips too
but really haIREY  if you use them on a windy day- as you gotta climb em quickly before they blow down in front of you
