i kneed some for a job i have to do with ladders were can i get cheep ones from off the net
its only a  one off job so not too fussed on quality
any ideas
cheers

You can make your own by wrapping some old towels round the top of your ladders and just tape them to keep them in place.

Okay, okay, they maybe haven't got the same 'grip' as a rubberised set of ladder mits, but I would argue that it's safe as long as your ladders are stable and you don't over reach.

thanks did find that but cheapest i could find was 15.00 job not worth that

[Pole 2 Pole]

£15 is well worth it mbs. They last for years and the damage that i haven't caused to peoples property is "probably" very substantial.........and worth it alone for the extra "grip" you get when placed on the sill. Invest mate,invest.

i was cheesed off ,bought laddermitts then they just get in the way when i slide my ladders together . i guess theyre not meant for triple extension ladders

[Pole 2 Pole]

Yeh ya gotta take them off now n then(seem ok on doubles) especially after a couple o months. That's the "only" downside. That or losing one of them 

[bad trippy]

if its only for one job then rap a couple of scrims around the top of the ladder

Think i saw you on york road yesterday mate do you have the red combo? I have some mits you can borrow!!

I know a request like that is likely to baffle even those on here with the best of educations, but believe it or not after using the internet

phenomenon otherwise know as GOOGLE I found this website

foam pipe insulation from plumbers shop about a quid cut to size then tape on

[wfp master]

get an old car inner tube cut a strip about 1ft long wrap round a few times then glue together or just tie it.  does the same job and it want slip

Apart from WFP, ladder mitts were the single biggest enhancement to safety I ever bought.  I just have the ladder on top permanently open by one rung to accomodate them.  £15 is a bargain IMO.  No sideways sliding on sills (except when they are frozen.  No scuff marks on sills.  It would even be possible to slide sideways with the top of the ladder against brickwork.  The mitts stopped that too.  I am astonished that i see trad W/Cs around who don't use this very cheap enhancement to safety.
