Finding the best roof ladder can be tricky if you're not a professional builder or roofer with the knowledge and experience that the job brings.  There is a big roof ladder range from DIY suitable roof ladders and roof hook accessories, to professional standard roof ladders intended for regular use in the rough environment of a building site.  The right one for you depends on how much use it is going to get and how much you want to spend – a really long roof ladder could set you back around the same as calling a professional to do the job instead, so it's worth thinking about whether you really need to be up on your own roof or whether someone else is best placed to do it for you.

For infrequent roof access there is the option of a roof hook accessory.  This clamps on to any straight ladder turning it into a roof ladder in a flash.  There are no bolts or screws so your ladder can be returned to its original purpose with no damage caused, and it can be used time and time again.  This is one of our most popular accessories as the sturdy wheels and ridge hook make it easy to create a roof ladder quickly, without spending money on a dedicated roof ladder you might only use once.

Professionals, as well as DIY enthusiasts and those working on a project, would do well to invest in a dedicated roof ladder for regular use.  The Lyte double extending roof ladders are a great buy as they are rated for trade use and designed with the satellite and TV aerial installation industry in mind.  Non slip serrated rungs ensure these ladders are safe to use, even in inclement weather and the solid aluminium ridge hook keeps the ladder in place throughout the job.

The ProCat roof ladders are really well designed and made and thought that has gone into every stage of the design process.  A rubber coated spreader bar prevents damage to roof tiles and skylights, while the lightweight construction means that getting these ladders up even the steepest and deepest roof can be done without any trouble.  The best thing about these roof ladders is that they are sectional, making them much easier to store and transport – no more roof racks needed when these ladders will fit in the back of a van. 

The longest sections are 8 feet and extra sections are available (in 3, 4 or 6 foot lengths), so you can purchase them as needed.  The sections fit together with wing nuts, and although this takes a minute or two longer than simply extending a ladder the benefit of easier transport is worth it.  Being able to add sections as needed makes these ladders a great investment for people working on a variety of buildings and that's why they are so popular with roofers.
