Ladder Accessories

Learn more about ladder accessories

The right accessory turns a general-purpose ladder into a safer, more capable tool for the job in front of you. Ladder roof hooks let you work over a pitched roof, a standoff creates clearance from a wall for gutter and fascia work, while tool caddies and utility buckets give you safe and convenient containers to keep the tools and small materials you need close at hand.

Work out what the job demands first, then match the accessory to it. Compatibility with your ladder type, along with the load and height it's rated for, matters more than anything else. We help you find the option that suits the ladder in use, the building and the surface underfoot.

Typical uses

• Roof access using roof ladder hooks for pitched roof work.

• Gutter and fascia access, where a ladder hook or standoff creates safer clearance from the wall.

• Uneven or sloping ground, where a base leveler, stabiliser bar or anti-slip feet improve the set-up.

• Indoor and outdoor maintenance jobs, where accessories need to suit the surface and the ladder type.

• Loft and general access tasks, where the right accessory keeps the ladder positioned correctly.

• Convenient holders for hand tools, fixings and materials eliminating the need to carry them all. 

How to choose the right ladder accessories

• Match the accessory to the job: ladder hooks for roof access, a standoff or stabiliser for extra clearance and side support, or a leveler and anti-slip feet for uneven or slick surfaces.

• Check compatibility with your ladder type and the product specifications before ordering, especially for a ladder extension stabiliser or ladder extension pole accessories.

• Match the accessory to the working surface, such as tarmac, tiles or grass, so the set-up suits the ground conditions.

• Confirm load, height and fixing method so the accessory suits the task and the ladder it will be used with.

• On a commercial site, make sure the set-up aligns with your site rules and the relevant safety requirements.

Before you order

• Confirm the ladder type, length and section profile so the accessory is compatible.

• Decide whether you need a ladder hook, ladder roof hooks, a ladder standoff, a ladder stabiliser bar or a ladder base leveler for the job.

• Measure the access point and working area so the accessory gives enough clearance without damaging the building or roofline.

• For repeat site work, check the accessory suits the most common surfaces and ladder positions you use.
