Steps and ladders are essential pieces of equipment for many tradespeople. But, ensuring that you have specific ladders that meet your requirements is also important if you want to achieve good results and stay safe.
Here are some of the different types of ladders and how they’re suited to a variety of jobs.
Conservatory ladder
If you need to do maintenance on a conservatory or extension then a conservatory ladder will come in handy. The difference between these types of ladders and standard ladders is the angled extension that can be adjusted to suit the angle of the conservatory roof. That means you no longer have to overreach and can safely complete your work.
Swingback steps
If you’re looking for an all round useful ladder then swingback steps are a great multi-purpose option. They include strong, internal locking bars for added safety as well as treads 85 mm deep for safe standing - these are a popular choice with painters and decorators.
Roof ladders
Working at height requires the correct equipment and safety procedures. Roof ladders are a sensible investment as they are specially designed for many types of roof work. They include wide, serrated, flat top rungs for comfort and safety and alloy support brackets fitted at intervals with rubber sleeves to protect roof tiles.

They include ergonomic back rail support and side handrails, plus they are mobile so moving them around is no problem.
