I bought it for a DIY job that I never got round to. A relative is
looking for a standard extension ladder. Would it be safe to remove the
roof-specific fittings and use it like a normal ladder?


No not really... you might get away with it if you are a feather weight
but they are not designed for a bending load in the way a normal ladder is.
