I am trying to find a company that carries out inspections of ladders and steps (in the Cambridgeshire area). Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Malcolm: I assume this is about inspecting the condition of ladders, rather than safe use. SGB Youngman in West Sussex, Tel: 01621 745703 make/supply different kinds of ladders. They may be able to recommend a company in Cambs and advise on inspecting ladders yourself. This is relatively simple:
Stepladders (wood and aluminium) check:
Sides are not twisted, split, broken (wood)or dented (alu).
Treads are not loose, broken, free of dirt, grease, paint.
Feet rubber protection pads are not worn/missing (alu ladders).
Platform catch engages properly when ladder is fully open.
Crossbars are not loose/broken (wood); dented (alu).
No screws/rivets are loose/missing which secure treads/crossbars to the sides; holds two sections together at the top.
Alu Extension Ladders check:
Sides are not dented.
Treads/Feet same checks as for stepladders.
Hooks which couple inner/outer sections together are not bent/missing.
Hope this is of some help.
