Hi Rob,
Are your Ladders Titan ??? Because believe me some of these cheap ladders you can get elsewhere are not the same quality ;)

wot is titan
-
Yes, they are Titan, and stephen Titan is a brand name.
I am happy with them and they make me feel safer and they dont mark window fames so they are still worth the money.
I was suspicious of the price of the one stephen was quoted as poor quality, after all you only get what you pay for.

i got a 9 ft pointer from this shop 9 years ago and it is still going strong . the only difrence with the ladder i was looking at is at the point it has no plastic bit just wood.
-
Rob,
If you put them side by side you would see why their is such a price difference. :o

I've bought a few ladders from empire and the two old guys make them to order they have allways lasted me well and at the moment there is a 20% discount on all prices.I bought a 9ft pointer 2 weeks ago for £54 they are wired at every rug and treated.
-
do empire's ladders meet trade standards i.e. BSEN131?
-
Do they have a web site ,or a e mail address 8)
-
No i don't think they have a web site.
They are two great guys that have been making ladders for many years, When you buy from them you are buying from the factory so cutting the middle man out.

Hi
I have bought wooden ladders from empire ladders before and i have to say they do not compare to another company in bradford called bradford ladders, they put better materials into their ladders apparently, so even though you have to pay a max of £7 more for their ladders in comparison to empire, it is worth every penny, they last longer stay in better condition for longer and are definately lighter, they also do guarantees and do a full repair service, i have been taking my ladders there for years and would recommend their ladders over empires anyday.
Deadly serious, ask anyone else in this area and they will tell you the same, take a look around next time your driving, you'll notice that the vast majority of window cleaners have red / brown painted wooden ladders on their roof rack (bradford ladders)
