🪜 Extension & Roof Ladder Hire — London
Extension ladder hire London — trade-grade aluminium access for short-duration work.
EN131 Professional triple extension ladder (3m → 7m) and a pitched-roof access ladder with ridge hook. Greenford UB6 collection or London delivery by booking.
Quick start
What are you reaching?
- 🏠 Two-storey access→ Triple Extension
- 🪟 Gutter / fascia→ Triple Extension
- 🏠 Pitched roof access→ Roof Ladder
- ⏱ Longer duration→ Ask first
⚠ Safety first
Ladders are best for short-duration access on stable, level ground with suitable top support. For longer-duration work or awkward access, a scaffold tower or platform may be more appropriate. Roof work may need specialist access and fall protection — always follow HSE / manufacturer guidance and your site’s risk assessment.

Call 020 3375 4048 →Extension ladder hire London with two trade-grade aluminium ladders for short-duration access work — an EN131 Professional triple extension ladder reaching 7.45m working height (for two-storey domestic exterior access where the setup is suitable), and a pitched-roof ladder with ridge hook and wheels for roof repairs, maintenance and inspection where suitable. Both options are available for Greenford UB6 collection or London delivery by booking.
Tell us the height, the task and the surface — we’ll help you choose between the extension ladder and the roof ladder. For longer-duration work, working from a fixed position, or larger jobs, please call 020 3375 4048 before booking and we’ll advise on the suitable approach (a scaffold tower or access platform may be more appropriate).
⚡ Quick answer
Choose an extension ladder for short-duration higher access where the ground, angle and top support are suitable. Choose a roof ladder for pitched-roof work with appropriate fall protection. For long-duration work, awkward access or roof tasks needing specialist setup, ask before booking — a scaffold tower or access platform may be more suitable.

💷 Hire cost factors
What affects ladder hire cost?
Daily and weekly rates, ex-VAT. Five things move the price.
Ladder type
The roof ladder sits at the entry of the range. The triple extension (EN131 Professional, 7.45m) steps up — you’re paying for the reach, sections and stabiliser.
Hire duration
Daily is highest per day. Weekly is usually better value from three days+. Long projects can be quoted on request.
Pickup or delivery
Greenford UB6 collection keeps the cost cleanest. London delivery is available by booking — postcode-based pricing.
Site access
Kerbside drop-off is standard. Ladders are long — confirm vehicle access and turning room at the delivery address.
Job match
If a tower or platform suits the job better, we’ll say so before you book. Saves wasted hire and keeps the work safer.

❓ FAQs
Ladder hire — questions we hear every week
What size extension ladder do I need?
For most two-storey domestic exterior tasks (gutter, fascia, first-floor window access), the EN131 Professional triple extension ladder in our range is a practical starting point — 3m closed, 7m extended, 7.45m working height. For higher or commercial reach, please call before booking and we’ll advise on a suitable approach.
Is a ladder suitable for gutter cleaning?
Yes — a triple extension ladder is commonly used for short-duration gutter inspection and light cleaning where the ground is stable, top support is suitable, and you can maintain three points of contact. For longer cleaning jobs along multiple gutter sections, ask about a scaffold tower for a safer working position.
Can I use an extension ladder for roof access?
An extension ladder reaches the eaves but isn’t designed to be walked on across a pitched roof. For roof access, the dedicated roof ladder in our range hooks over the ridge for a more stable position. Roof work is high-risk — use suitable fall protection and follow HSE / manufacturer guidance.
Should I hire a ladder or a scaffold tower?
Ladders suit short-duration access where you can maintain three points of contact. If the job needs both hands free, repeated trips, longer working time at height, or a fixed working position, a scaffold tower or access platform is usually safer and more efficient. Call 020 3375 4048 and we’ll advise on the suitable approach.
Can I use a ladder for painting?
Short exterior painting touch-ups and inspection work are fine on a suitable extension ladder where the ground, top support and weather allow. For longer painting sessions, working from one position, or when carrying tools and materials, a scaffold tower or platform is usually a better fit.
Are roof ladders available?
Yes — we hire a trade-grade aluminium pitched-roof ladder with a ridge hook and wheels for easier positioning. Use it with appropriate fall protection and follow site / manufacturer guidance. Confirm roof type and access before booking.
Can ladders be delivered in London?
Yes — kerbside delivery is available across most London postcodes and into nearby home counties, postcode-based pricing, confirmed when you book. Ladders are long, so please confirm vehicle access and turning room at the delivery address.
Can I collect from Greenford UB6?
Yes — Greenford UB6 collection is available by booking. We’ll confirm collection details when your booking is arranged.
How much does ladder hire cost?
The roof ladder starts from £6.49 / day and the EN131 triple extension ladder from £9.80 / day (ex-VAT). Final price depends on hire length, delivery vs Greenford UB6 collection, and site access.
What should I check before hiring a ladder?
Height needed, ground stability, top support, work duration, weather, overhead cables, tools / materials being carried, and whether a tower or platform suits the job better. Inspect the ladder on arrival and follow HSE / manufacturer guidance during use.
