Find your ladder
Which one is right for you?
Four quick questions. At the end you get the length that fits the job — not too short, not oversized.
Question 1 / 4
How high do you need to work?
Question 2 / 4
What are you climbing to?
Question 3 / 4
Where will it live between jobs?
Question 4 / 4
Does it need to stand on its own?
Your match
This is the one
Between two sizes? Take the longer one. A ladder that is too short gets used badly.
Which height do I need?
Pick the job you actually need to reach. If you are between two, go one size up.
| The job | Ladder length |
|---|---|
| Changing a bulb, indoor ceilings | 2.6 m |
| Loft hatch, high shelves | 3.2 m |
| Single-storey gutters, garage roof | 3.8 m |
| Upstairs windows, conservatory roof | 4.4 m |
| Two-storey gutters | 5 m |
| Tall roofline, chimney access | 6.2 m |
