The ladder stay helps reduce one of the common risks on site—damage to building exteriors caused by ladders resting directly against fragile surfaces. For trades working on residential or commercial buildings, this simple device offers a professional way to protect customer property. It's equally suitable for facilities maintenance teams, allowing safe work at height around sensitive areas like glass, cladding, or tiled roofing.
The lightweight 2kg construction makes it easy to manoeuvre, and the quick-attach mechanism ensures time isn't wasted on site. Whether you're working solo or in a team, the ladder stay boosts safety and protects surfaces with minimal fuss.

Commonly used by tradespeople on roofing, painting, surveying, and electrical work, ladder stays serve a crucial role in height safety and surface protection.
Ideal for:
- Roofers working near gutters or tiled overhangs
- Window cleaners operating on residential and commercial properties
- Painters and decorators requiring a stable base with clearance
- Facilities managers needing access without damaging cladding or signage
By maintaining a fixed distance from the wall, the stay also improves ladder stability by creating a wider support point at the top. This reduces lateral movement and can help with weight distribution across the rungs. Though lightweight, its 2kg construction offers the strength needed for regular use on demanding sites. Fitting to most extension ladders without special tools, it’s an ideal part of any site safety setup for teams that value protection and ease of use.
The ladder stay is often paired with double extension ladders.
