HI all,
Today we will be talking about what trades needs extension ladders and why that is.
Extension ladders are used by a range of traders and contractors for the completion of their day to day activities. Extension ladders can be used for many tasks, hence why they so popular and commonly associated with builders and DIY work all over the world. This blog will provide a list of tradesmen who use extension ladders, showing just how adaptable and useful these ladders can be to different trades and tradespersons.
Window cleaners/fitters
Window cleaners need to use extension ladders in order to reach upper higher windows in a relatively quick and efficient way, whereas other apparatus such as scaffold towers would be too cumbersome and complicated to use and manoeuvre to and from windows and between customers as well. Window cleaners often transport ladders in and on vehicles such as vans which won’t be possible with other options and the extension capability also makes transporting the ladders from place to place much easier. The lack of heavy equipment that window cleaners need such as cleaning fluid and squeegee’s make for a lightweight journey up the ladder, which is why extension ladders are the first choice when it comes to window cleaners. Window fitters also use extension ladders to provide additional support and stability to the other fitters and the windows themselves. This ensures the window is fitted correctly and does not fall out of its intended position while it is being fitted and secured.
Hi Guys, This ladder looks cool, but I certainly wouldn't like to be the one going up it... This image will be familiar to fans of Harry Potter’s Order of the Phoenix where the image of the snarling caretaker Argus Filch climbing a teetering 100 foot stepladder to nail the Orwellian Proclamations to a stone wall is repeated quite often throughout the film. Perhaps a good lesson to us all – not to repeat what we see! Unfortunately there will be no potentially powerful wizard who comes to our aid to make things all good again!

Hi guys, Did you see our new Blog? Here's a taster. As their name suggests, The Work at Height Regulations 2005 are a set of legal requirements which must be followed by all workers and workplaces where work is being carried out at height. They were introduced as a measure to help reduce injuries and deaths caused by falls from height at work. Falls from ladders and raised work surfaces are one of the most common causes of worker deaths in the country. Despite progress in health and safety practices and regulation in the UK, falls from height are the single most common cause of fatal accidents at work. In 2017/2018, falling from height was responsible for 35% of all work-related deaths. This is significantly higher than the second most common cause of death at work, being hit by a moving vehicle, which accounted for 26% of deaths.
