Need a ladder for a quick job but don't own one? I'll bring a step ladder round, set it up safely, and you can crack on with whatever needs doing at height.
When You Need a Ladder But Don't Own One
Here's a scenario I see all the time: you need to change a lightbulb, dust the top of the wardrobe, or reach something in the loft - but you don't have a ladder. Asking the neighbours feels awkward, buying one means storing the thing forever, and hire places want you to collect it yourself.
💡 Pro tip: If you've got several ceiling-height jobs, book them all for the same visit. Change bulbs, dust high shelves, check smoke alarms - get everything done while the ladder's already there.

🔧 DIY Tips
If you're thinking of buying your own ladder, here's what to know:
🔧 Choosing a ladder
- 6-step stepladder: standard for indoor ceiling height (gets you to ~3m)
- Platform steps: more stable if you're working at height for a while
- Combination ladder: converts to different angles (bit bulky for storage)
- Don't cheap out - wobbly ladders cause accidents
📐 Using it safely
- Always place on firm, level ground - not carpet, not tiles
- Open fully so spreaders lock in place
- Never stand on the top platform unless it's specifically designed for it
- Three points of contact: two feet and one hand, or two hands and one foot
- Don't overreach - move the ladder instead
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Setting up on uneven surfaces (books, bits of wood - don't)
- Leaning too far to the side instead of repositioning
- Using chairs or stools stacked up (seriously, don't)
- Not checking the weight rating
💡 Pro trick: Mark your ceiling height with masking tape where you need to work. That way you can position the ladder once and do all your jobs without moving it repeatedly.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Got other jobs? While I'm there with the ladder, we can knock off other tasks at height - smoke alarm batteries, picture hanging, curtain adjustments. Makes better use of the £60 minimum.
Multi-job discount? If you book several ceiling-height tasks together (bulbs, smoke alarms, high dusting), we work through them efficiently and you get more value from the callout.
Old Exeter houses with wonky floors? I'm used to it. I'll make sure the ladder's stable even when your floor definitely isn't level - common in older Devon properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just borrow your ladder for a day?
Not quite - I bring it round, set it up safely for you, and you use it while I'm there or I can come back to collect it later. This way I know it's been used safely and you're not left storing a big ladder afterwards.
What size ladder do you bring?
Usually a standard 6-step stepladder which gets you to ceiling height in most rooms. If you need something bigger for outside work, let me know when you call and I'll bring the right kit.
Can you stay while I use it?
If you want me to - some people like having someone hold the ladder steady, others just want it set up safely then they're happy working alone. Your call, but I'll charge for my time if I'm hanging around.
What if I only need it for 10 minutes?
Still £60 I'm afraid - that's my minimum callout. But if you've got other little jobs that need doing while I'm there, we can knock a few things off your list for the same visit.
Do you deliver and collect?
I can do, but you're paying for two visits at that point. Usually more cost-effective to either hire a ladder yourself from a tool hire place, or have me there to help with whatever job needs doing rather than just dropping kit off.
