Fixed Access Ladders: For Safe Access To Your Roof Space

Our fixed access ladders provide safe, permanent access to roofs, plant areas, and elevated workspaces across commercial and industrial sites. Designed for long-term use, our ladder systems are engineered to meet UK safety standards and site-specific requirements.

Commonly used for roof access, fixed access ladders can be integrated with roof hatches, platforms, and fall protection systems to create a fully compliant access solution. Where required, ladders can also be fitted with locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorised access.

Every installation is designed around your site, ensuring safe access at height without relying on temporary or portable equipment.

Our Fixed Access Ladder Systems

We pride ourselves on our ability to offer our customers the right solution for any application by offering a wide range of roof access ladders. All our fixed access ladders meet the requirements of BS 4211:2005 & BS EN ISO 14122-4:2016.

By working closely with our customers and carrying out working at height risk assessments, we ensure you understand the benefits of each ladder system.

Our Fixed Access Ladders

Caged & Fixed Ladders

Caged access ladders provide an easy to install, robust form of access that can be permanently fitted to any adequate structure.

Companionway Ladders

Companionway ladders are known to be easier to use than a fixed vertical ladder thanks to their slope inclined design.

Fall Arrest Ladders

Ladder fall arrest systems offer a safer, more aesthetically pleasing solution for larger fixed ladders.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which access ladder is right for me?

It’s a fair question. We have a range of rooftop equipment and access solutions available, so how do you know the safest way to access your roof? Well, the truth is you need a thorough risk assessment conducted by a height specialist company.

That way, an access solution specifically designed for your needs can be carried out to ensure any roof work that needs to be carried out can be done so in a safe manner.

With only the highest quality materials used, the strongest design and installation team delivering your access solution, and dedicated customer care ensuring you never miss a compliance inspection again, you can rely on us to find you the right solution.

What materials are used for your access ladders?

For most of our access ladders you can choose from GRP, Aluminium, Galvanised Steel or Stainless Steel for the ultimate durability. And if design is a concern, you can have most of them powder coated to any RAL colour, too!

Do you provide roof access hatches?

Yes, as part of our installation, if it is necessary for safe access for your system to be installed internally, then we will provide roof hatches. You can choose from a range of styles and finishes, including glass for natural light, or even ones with thermal break technology for increased energy efficiency at your site.

16 Questions when choosing a Fall Protection Company

We're trusted & accredited

We're rated 4.5

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Altus over the last three years. They are a very professional and complete company. At times we tested their patience to I'm sure the absolute limits, but never once did they falter in their service. Michaela and the team are outstanding.

We have been involved in a number of projects now and I remain as confident as ever that they are fast becoming an industry leader in their field... Altus are determined, honest, professional, ethical, flexible sustainably minded and importantly great value for money... Give them a fair chance and you will not be disappointed.

We have only recently started working with Altus Safety but have found them to be friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Looking forward to continuing to work together in the future!

Quality service and prompt response with good customer service to ensure our facilities are safe without any compromises Well detailed in the safety inspection and certification. Looking forward to more engagement

Altus took over an existing system at our factory we already had in place and have also completed new a installation in the passed 3 years. We also have used Altus for projects offsite. Staff are very friendly and all paperwork / certification quickly issued after testing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Altus.
