Just wanted to get some advice on ladders to reach 2 story gutter level as a just incase I cannot clear from the ground with the vac. I was looking at the likes of the little giant, werner, waku etc multi purpose ladders that extend up about 6m or so basically about 20ft. Would be just past 2nd story level gutters & a good height in the A frame position to stand on to work over conservatories/extensions. I was looking at the Little Giant/Little Giant Dark horse (Fibre glass version) but pricey. I came across this one which seems a little giant alternative and is 23kg, 6.17m and closed height of 6ft or so. I don't think it has levelers.

Would these multi purpose ladders be safe for gutter usage or would the normal extension ladder be a better option? I just bought a ladder stop from Screwfix & was looking at their ladder stand off aswell.

I take it you guys bring the ladders in at night and then pop them back in the roof rack in the morning? As regards roof bars, I take it guys that have rollers would be because their ladders are extremely heavy. I just had a quick browse onilne at Halfords roof bars. Would be for a VW Caddy maxi but haven't yet had a real good look.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, cheers.
