Ladders

Ladders are an essential piece of kit in every roofer’s arsenal. They're often a necessity to carry out DIY projects too! Whether you are a roofer, an electrician or a plumber, you are going to need a dependable and safe ladder to work from. A ladder should be stable, secure and reliable, which is why Roofing Superstore has specially selected the best ladders on the market to add to your building essentials. We also stock fire-resistant loft hatches if you’re looking to install safe access to your loft or attic. Check out the different types of ladders for sale we have to offer.

What types of ladders are there, and which one do I need?

There are many kinds of ladders on the market, each designed for different purposes depending on the scale of your project. Discover loft ladders, loft hatches that have loft ladders built-in, and a range of step ladders. From trade and industrial-grade step ladders that meet BS 2037 Class 1 ladder standards, to platform step ladders, you’re guaranteed to find the right ladder for you. Our catalogue of ladders also incorporates extension ladders too.

Step ladders

Step ladders are incredibly useful for smaller-scale DIY tasks, or even for everyday use to access hard-to-reach areas of your home. They can be handy when installing lightbulbs or fitting shelves, and even painting walls. If there is an area of your property that is out of reach and you have been desperate to clean, you can rely on a step ladder to safely assist you. Step ladders aren’t limited to indoor use. They can also aid in gardening and landscaping projects, such as hedge trimming and pruning. Their compact size also makes them easy to store, so every property would benefit from a step ladder, as you never know when you may need one.

Extendable Ladders

Extendable ladders are needed for reaching particularly high areas of the property, mainly the roof. Whether it's repairs, installation, or even exterior painting, an extendable ladder is the perfect aid.

Extension ladders are often split into two, but sometimes three sections. The base of the ladder, and the fly, which is the part that extends. This is normally held in place by a lock that is connected to the base of the ladder to prevent it from retracting when in use. Thanks to their impressive extension, some of up to 10 metres, it's no wonder that these ladders are perfect for use as roof ladders.

Telescopic Ladders

Telescopic ladders are so named due to their collapsable function that is similar to that of a telescope. They operate on a ‘nesting system’ where each section fits into the next when taken down. These are particularly useful if storage is limited. Some of the telescoping ladders we stock extend to over 6 metres, so you are never compromised on functionality as they allow you access to higher places than a step ladder would.

Loft Ladders

Loft ladders, or loft hatch ladders are the ultimate access point to your loft, attic, or inside of your roof. Loft ladders connected to loft hatches are especially convenient, as they do not require a separate ladder to access your belongings or carry out a roof inspection, meaning you don’t have to struggle with heavy lifting or storing the loft ladder individually. Loft hatch ladders are often safer than having a separate ladder, as they carefully connect the loft opening, and some even feature handrails for added safety. We also stock loft hatches separate to the ladder, if this is the only component you require.
