A window cleaner who knows the risks associated with ladders invented this product. Ladders can be a problem on sloping or uneven ground - how do you climb up to clean windows, clear the gutters or paint without toppling to one side? On a smooth surface, how do you stop the ladder feet from sliding away from the wall or, on a soft surface, how do you stop the feet sinking into the ground?

'Laddermat' can provide the solution to all of these problems. Four mats made from heavy-duty rubber matting with nodules are linked by a sturdy metal loop and offer adjustable anti-slip blocking to go under the ladder foot needing extra height. Alternatively they can be put under both feet to reduce the risk of slipping or of sinking into soft ground.
