LADDER ACCESSORIES by Ladders999 for safety and convenience with any ladder - Lansford Access Ltd
Has anyone got any experience with any of the ladder supports off this page if so what one and why did you choose it. I now work in my own after my helper lad decided to get another job and need to be sure the ladder isn't going to f&@k off when I'm at the top.

I've been told this LADDERMATE Ladder Safety Stabiliser from Ladders999 - Lansford Access Ltd is very good. I'm waiting to hear about Foot The Ladder from someone on Facebook. He says he can still get them. I'll update as and when I hear if you're interested?

on that page are rubber replacement feet and rubber laddermats . DONT BUY EITHER! i tell u for why ,i had a fall in 2010 after my laddermats let go one morning and i fell the full drop. lucky to survive i then started looking into what was the fault.after doin online research i discovered rubber should never be used outdoors as a grip aid if the ground is dusty or damp.which is a lot of the time . i actually contacted the maker of these products,by a coincidence he lives in my home town! told him i near broke my legs - he tried to buy my silence -turns out he already knew of the risks -but then went onto promote his items worldwide and now i bleve his rubber safety items are sold in the States too.
my opinion ,he needs a fookin good kickin,cos hes playing wi innocents lives all cos he craves the money.David Farnworth is his name and hes an ex window cleaner

I'll be using this as extra underwear protection alongside my ladder spikes for when I'm working around the roofline or on wet decking and the like. I think it will be fine with the rubber on there for my needs but I understand your reasoning.

Did you order one of these Elliot? I did, ordered direct from John at Medworthy. Was told 4-6 working days for delivery. 2 weeks later and no device? I tried calling, text message and email and no response. Eventually I got someone else to text and he got a response to say he was dealing with it. Still no communication in my direction so I asked for a refund. Got a response saying it would be dealt with so I bought one of these Ladder M8rix Industrial Anti-Slip Safety Device Stopper Outdoor | Roofing Superstore® off a guy on Facebook for £20 plus delivery.
Both arrived yesterday! Now the bloke from Medworthy won't answer calls, texts or emails again but answers to new customer enquiries. No wonder shops pulled the plug on foot the ladder if customer service is like that!
Can't imagine trying to return a faulty one........

Well I've got both now, maybe I should do a side by side comparison video? Then again I don't want to give that John Medhurst any more business given how he's been with me.

OK, I will. I used the m8rix today on wet decking, planks laid long ways and it never moved. I used it again on mossy concrete and again solid. Have yet to try the foot the ladder.

I'll look at doing one today as it's wet outside so would be perfect.
