Just for getting up onto flat rooves, over gates etc.... are they a phaff to unfold? Had a play with the ones in B&Q today, seemed tricky, but do you get used to them?

Rarely use ladders for anything else than above... so cant see the point in carrying a full set.

bought a set a while ago - used them a couple of times,complete waste of money, they aren't safe - buy something like zarges

[chrismroberts]

Cheers mate zarges?

[alanwilson]

yeah they're the best ladders out there - very expensive though.

want a web link?

Thanks for that Good range of products!

But..... isn't their combination ladder exactly the same as the B&Q one?

[alanwilson]

I'll have a look

[alanwilson]

had a look - I'd very very much doubt it is the same - however I could be wrong.

have you had a look at their telescopic ladders, not cheap!!

I have a pair of the 3section trade ladders - brilliant ladders (although they're only used for changing the bulb in the floodlamps around the house!)

Sure. Safe as houses. This is the advert that B&Q doesn't want you to see ...

I got mine from Jewson, 52 quid. It looks stronger than the B&Q one, especially the hinges. Used it quite a lot over the last 3 wks, without any incidents..But although it feels solid in use, I'm Very, Very wary of it. The day I trust it completely will be the day it folds up on me...ouch, wish I hadn't said that

Having said that its been a really useful bit of kit. I'm using them on commercial kitchens internal cleans. To access everything Ive needed to, I've had them set-up in every combination there is. Saved me loads of time and hassle. Not too much of a phaff to fold once you work it out.

But if you don't need all the Transformer stuff, just get a small slider type.

Ouch! Makes me laugh, that guy just keeps on selling the ladders... even when hes flat on his face on the floor!

Those telescopic ones scare me... worked on some a year or so back and... I tell ya, I couldn't wait to get back down!
