I have some painting to do, render, barge boards and windows. I already have
an alu ladder.

I could do with a standoff, and one with a V notch because for some of the
work I will only be able to place the ladder against a corner.

This caught my eye http://laddersareus.co.uk/access.htm#laddstand
(LADDSTAND)

But I'm not so sure about having one with wheels on it - sure it'll make it
easier to put the ladder up, but will it be as stable and safe - anyone got
a ladder standoff with or without wheel care to comment?

Thanks.

NB. I'm not connected to the website in any way.

Check out the 'Ladder Mate', available on that site end elsewhere. I never use
my ladder without it; it's a real confidence booster with or without a standoff.
I bought mine direct from the manufacturer http://www.safetyfirsteurope.co.uk/
several years ago, although their site seems to suggest that now you can buy
only via their distributors.
