where to buy step ladders from?

Hi,

I'm not much into DIY at all but just borrowed my neighbours ladders & as I stood on them my foot went through the wood. He must have left them outside & they have gone rotten.

hummmm.....

they seem a bit beyond repair.

Any idea where I can buy cheap step ladders from to replace them. These are wooden but I guess any will do.

Cheers,
worto.

    I use aluminimn steps, and I find they are very good, they are so light to move and carry, and fairly strong, but depending on how big the neighbour is, I think they only take up to a certain weight, but you can buy some for heavier people.
    The cheapest places are B&Q, wicks homebase etc.

    nice one thanks found some on homebase for 20-35 quid.

    I panicked a bit cuz the only ones I could find before were £150!

    I bought a good step ladder from Screwfix http://www.screwfix.com
  • Hi

    Aldi and Lidl both had them recently about £12.99. I've been using a set of Aldi ones for 3 years now and can recommend them. Your neighbour's onto a good thing isn't he? I'd suggest you go halves!

    cool,

    thanks for all the replies, there is a lidl round the corner from us so I'll pop in tomorrow & see if they are open.

    as for going halves I'm always borrowing stuff from him so I don't mind if they are uner 30 quid.

    cheers,
    worto.
