Roof Ladders
Roof ladders are designed to provide safe, secure access when working on pitched roofs. They offer stability and confidence for tasks such as roof repairs, inspections, and gutter maintenance. From a lightweight roof ladder for easy handling to an extendable roof ladder for added reach, roof ladders are an essential access solution for working safely at height. Shop from top brands such as; Werner, Lyte and Zarges.
Our range of roof ladders is built to deliver reliable access and stability when working on sloped or pitched roofs. Unlike standard ladders, roof ladders are designed to rest securely against the roof surface, with ridge hooks or wheels that anchor the ladder over the roof apex to prevent movement during use.
Many models are constructed from durable aluminium, making each lightweight roof ladder easy to carry, position, and manoeuvre without compromising strength. For greater flexibility, an extendable roof ladder allows you to adjust the ladder length to suit different roof heights and pitches, making it suitable for a wide range of properties.
Roof ladders are commonly used by roofers, builders, and maintenance professionals, but are equally practical for competent DIY users carrying out occasional roof work. We also offer a range of essential safety gear; such as harness kits, hard hats and high-vis workwear.
What ladder is best for getting on the roof?
A roof ladder is the best option for accessing a pitched roof safely. Unlike standard ladders, roof ladders are specifically designed with ridge hooks or wheels that secure the ladder over the roof ridge, providing stability while working on the roof surface.
Is it safe to put a ladder on a roof?
Yes, it is safe to put a ladder on a roof when using a properly designed roof ladder and following correct safety procedures. Roof ladders are built to distribute weight evenly and include secure fixing features to reduce the risk of slipping. Always ensure the ladder is correctly positioned and used in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
How tall of a ladder do I need for my roof?
The height of ladder you need depends on the height of your property and the pitch of the roof. An extendable roof ladder allows you to adjust the length to suit different roof heights. As a general rule, the ladder should extend beyond the working area to allow safe access and movement while on the roof.
