Hi Rob,
         Are your Ladders Titan ??? Because believe me some of these cheap ladders you can get elsewhere are not the same quality ;)

Yes, they are Titan, and stephen Titan is a brand name.

I am happy with them and they make me feel safer and they dont mark window fames so they are still worth the money.

I was suspicious of the price of the one stephen was quoted as poor quality, after all you only get what you pay for.

i got a 9 ft pointer from this shop 9 years ago and it is still going strong . the only difrence with the ladder i was looking at is at the point it has no plastic bit just wood.

I've bought a few ladders from empire and the two old guys make them to order they have allways lasted me well and at the moment there is a 20% discount on all prices.I bought a 9ft pointer 2 weeks ago for £54 they are wired at every rug and treated.

No i don't think they have a web site.
They are two great guys that have been making ladders for many years, When you buy from them you are buying from the factory so cutting the middle man out.
