Get into your loft safely, without the draught

An old hatch is often the biggest gap in an insulated loft. A sealed, insulated hatch and a proper ladder make the loft warmer and easier to use.

About this service

We fit folding loft ladders and replace or upgrade hatches with insulated, draught-sealed ones, so the way into the loft doesn’t let the warmth out.

What’s included

  • Folding ladder fitted to your hatch
  • Insulated, draught-sealed hatch
  • Hatch enlarged where the ceiling allows
  • A light in the loft, if you want one
  • Safety rail and secure fixing
  • A written quote first

We price the job after looking at your loft. You get a written quotation before any work is agreed.

The hatch matters

You can lay a deep layer across the whole loft, but an uninsulated, ill-fitting hatch still lets warm air straight up. An insulated hatch with a seal closes that gap.

A ladder you’ll actually use

Balancing on a stepladder to reach the loft is how people get hurt. A folding ladder pulls down in seconds and folds away out of sight.

On its own or with your insulation

We fit ladders and hatches as a job on their own, or alongside insulation and boarding, when it’s easy to do them together.

The process

How it works

  1. Tell us about your home

    Your postcode, the kind of house and what you’d like done. It takes about a minute and costs nothing.

  2. We talk it through

    We get in touch, explain the options in plain words and, where the job needs it, come and look at the loft.

  3. Your quote, in writing

    You get a written quote with the work, the material and the price. Take your time over it.

  4. Only if you’re happy

    There’s no obligation. If you go ahead, we agree a day that suits you and do the work.

Loft ladders and hatches: your questions answered

Can you fit a ladder to my existing hatch?
Usually. If the opening is too small or awkward, we can often enlarge it.
Will a new hatch really make a difference?
An uninsulated hatch is a cold spot and a draught. Insulating and sealing it closes the gap in your loft insulation.
Do you fit loft lights?
Yes, as part of a ladder or boarding job.
Can I have just the ladder?
Yes.
