3.5 metre trade ladders(2 section) is what i use for the odd flat roof,opening bolted gates,splitting for getting over a gate and access to clean conny roofs if i cant pole them from the ground.they are a good all arounder.

i also have an 8ft single pointer left over from my trad days.this also comes in handy for reaching the odd bolted gate a few times a month. ;)

A professional set of ladders suitable for window cleaning will allow you to clean windows alongside w-f-p don't forget to buy a rojack I have two of these, been using them for years and consider them essential for adding safety to ladder work.

I started trad and was limited to size of ladders as wanted to keep them in van so went for Titan 3.0m trade and light industrial use  doubles from midland ladders rated up to 150 kilos

Still got them ... still use them for odd conny clean and on modern houses can actually clean gutters with them .. just.

Got a stand off as well as handy for conny cleans
