Roofing Work Ladders

The right ladder will depend on the height of the property, the roof pitch, the type of work being carried out and the frequency of use.

Choose a Trade Extension Ladder When:

• You need to reach gutters, fascias or roof level.
• You require access to a two or three-storey property.
• The ladder will be used regularly for professional work.
• You need a double or triple-section ladder for easier transportation.
• You require a ladder certified for professional use.

Choose a Roof Ladder When:

• You need to work directly on a pitched roof.
• You require a ridge hook to secure the ladder over the roof.
• You want bearer bars to help distribute weight across the roof surface.
• You are carrying out roof repairs, inspections or maintenance.
• A standard leaning ladder would not provide suitable access to the work area.

For many roofing jobs, both an access ladder and a roof ladder will be required.
