Description
Crafted from high-quality timber, our wooden step ladders combine traditional durability with reliable performance. They’re a popular choice for decorators, tradespeople, and homeowners looking for a sturdy, long-lasting access solution with a classic aesthetic.
Each ladder is manufactured in the UK using premium Douglas Fir and designed to withstand heavy-duty use across a wide range of environments.
Types of Wooden Step Ladders
We offer a practical selection of timber step ladders suitable for both commercial and domestic tasks:
Platform Step Ladders: These include a fixed standing platform, ideal for tasks that require stability and a longer working time, such as painting, installing fittings, or shelf access.
Swingback Step Ladders: Traditional folding A-frame design without a platform. They’re lighter and more compact, ideal for shorter tasks where portability matters.
All our wooden ladders are available in multiple sizes, from compact 5-tread models to larger options for higher working heights.
Why Choose Timber?
Benefits include:
-
Strong and stable – Ideal for demanding tasks on site or at home
-
Naturally non-conductive – Safer to use around electrical installations (always ensure the ladder is clean and dry)
-
No cold surfaces – Timber is more comfortable to handle in colder temperatures
-
Classic appearance – A traditional look for interior decorators or period properties

Are wooden ladders safe to use for trade work?
Yes, our wooden step ladders are built for professional use and designed to handle demanding tasks. They’re a favourite among decorators and tradespeople who want strength, comfort, and a non-metallic solution.
Can wooden ladders be used around electricity?
Dry timber is naturally non-conductive, making it safer than metal ladders in environments where electrical hazards are a concern. However, we still recommend fibreglass ladders for dedicated electrical work.
Are the ladders varnished or untreated?
Our timber step ladders are supplied varnished as standard, with all metal parts rust-proofed.
What sizes do wooden step ladders come in?
We offer a wide range, typically from 5-tread to 12-tread models. Check product listings for platform heights and reach guidance.
