Extension Ladders Up to 6.3 Metres (4m - 6m Reach)
Our extension ladders up to 6.3 metres are designed for lower-height access jobs where a full-size ladder isn’t required. This range is ideal for bungalows, single-storey properties, garages, and other domestic or light trade applications that need safe, stable access without unnecessary height.
Customers often search for a 4m, 5m or 6m ladder when tackling jobs such as gutter cleaning, exterior maintenance, or low roof access. Ladders in this category comfortably cover those requirements, offering enough reach for typical single-storey work while remaining easier to handle, transport, and store than longer extension ladders.
This range includes double and triple extension ladders available in aluminium, fibreglass, and timber options. Many models are offered in multiple sizes, allowing you to choose the most suitable height for your job without stepping up to a larger ladder than necessary.

Choosing the Right Extension Ladder
Selecting the correct extension ladder depends on three key factors: required reach, construction type, and material.
By Height
We offer extension ladders in multiple height ranges to suit different property types and working requirements:
Up to 6.3m – ideal for bungalows and single-storey access
Up to 10m – suitable for most two-storey properties and general trade use

Choosing a ladder with sufficient reach allows it to be used safely at the correct working angle.
By Type
Extension ladders are available in two main configurations:
Double extension ladders – two-section designs offering practical reach for domestic and light trade use
Triple extension ladders – three-section designs providing greater reach for taller buildings and higher-level access
Each type is available in a range of sizes.
By Material
Our extension ladders are manufactured in:
Aluminium – lightweight and corrosion-resistant
Fibreglass – non-conductive and suitable for electrical environments
Timber – strong and traditionally constructed
Material choice depends on working environment and user preference.

What is an extension ladder?
An extension ladder is a ladder made up of two or three sliding sections that extend to provide adjustable reach for working at height. Extension ladders are commonly used for exterior maintenance, roof access, and general access to upper floors.
What size extension ladder do I need?
The size of extension ladder you need depends on the height you are trying to reach and the angle at which it will be used. For bungalows and single-storey properties, a ladder up to 6.3 metres is often sufficient. For most two-storey houses, an extension ladder up to 10 metres is typically suitable. Taller buildings may require an extension ladder over 10 metres.
What is the difference between a double and triple extension ladder?
A double extension ladder has two sliding sections and is commonly used for domestic and light trade work. A triple extension ladder has three sections and provides greater maximum reach, making it more suitable for taller buildings and higher-level access.
Are extension ladders suitable for professional use?
Yes, our range of extension ladders are designed for professional and trade applications. Where advertised, our extension ladders are kitemarked to BS EN 131, which is a requirement for professional use. Always check the ladder specifications to ensure it is suitable for the intended working environment.
Should I choose aluminium, fibreglass or timber?
The best material for your extension ladder depends on how and where it will be used. Aluminium extension ladders are lightweight and durable, fibreglass ladders are often preferred for electrical environments as they are non-conductive, as are timber ladders, which provide a strong, traditional construction.
Can extension ladders be used for roof access?
Yes, extension ladders can be used for roof access when positioned correctly and extended above the landing point. For pitched roofs, a dedicated roof ladder may also be required for safe working.
How do I use an extension ladder safely?
Extension ladders should be positioned on stable ground and set at the correct angle, commonly following the 4-to-1 rule. This means for every 4 metres of vertical height, the base should be positioned 1 metre away from the structure. Always ensure the ladder extends sufficiently beyond the landing point and follow manufacturer safety guidance.
