I don't.......but I'm thinking about it now.

The small set at £79 might even fit in the back of my van and would be perfect.

Save carrying them on the roof rack all day.

Would the double 3.0m be a good size for standard houses ?

Yes, they are very good and the swivel feet are a great addition.
Shut up, Stan  ;D.

I've always gone for a 2x3.5m ladder.  Sometimes you may need to stretch a ladder to a point above a top window in order to get the angle with the ground right (e.g. above bays).  If just using the ladder to supplement WFP though, 2x2.5 will probably be OK.

Thanks for the advice I ordered them they came today. Can tell there a good ladder. Really steady when up on them.

would you recommand them over A shaped Ladders?

I have a Ford transit T260, I'm thinking get this one:

It should be able to fit inside the van so I don't have to install roof racks. It can extend up to 5.6m. I hope thats enough

It depends on what you need the ladders for.
A frames come into their own on long windows(sash), bays etc. You can get further up the window but they are more expensive.
