Aldi ladders - are they good?

Tigers_Dad

Aldi have a set of ladders on their weekly special buys page. I would be wanting them to reach the gutter on a terraced house - they state max working height approx 4.6m, so would that be ok?

Gutters are aout 5 to 6m, so this one isn't tall enough.

All ladders sold should be to European standard EN131, even if these re to the standard I don't think I would trust them for the work you describe ( even if they did reach which is doubtful). You need a proper set of ladders, two or three section, don't take risks when working from heights.

I saw these in store today, pretty small tbh, good for normal jobs around the home, but I wouldn't expect to reach any higher than the bottom of upstairs windows when its fully extended.
