I looked at hundreds of extension ladders online, and the smallest I could find was a 2metre triple extension; the next size up was a 2.5m triple. The shortest telescopic ladders extend to around 2.6m (8.53ft) and the longest models top out around 6.2m (20.35ft). The question is what you want to be able to use your ladder for. Shorter models will be fine for general DIY duties in and around the house, while longer models will be required if you’re hoping to get up to the roof of your home to fix the guttering or replace tiles.

There is no legal requirement to conform to standards in the UK but safety bodies such as Trading Standards and the HSE will expect manufacturers to comply. It is best practice to use new standard ladders, for the safety of yourself or your employees. Although there is no legal requirement buying to the correct standard is best practice and should an accident occur this will be one of the first questions from the HSE. Do I need to retrain my staff? Height & Adjustability: A good ladder offers flexibility. It should cater to various heights and be easily adjustable to suit different tasks. Whether you’re trying to reach the top of a hedge or paint a ceiling, the ladder should rise to the occasion. The EN131-6:2019 for telescopic ladders has also been introduced early 2019 and the EN131-6:2015 was also withdrawn.

However, if you need to reach the windows on a two-story house, or go even higher, you’ll need a 6 – 8m ladder. More uses– if you require a ladder to access different heights on your home (for roof, windows, loft etc) then you will need more than one ladder.
