Loft Ladder Installation FAQs

What types of loft ladders do you install?

We offer a wide range of loft ladders to suit different homes, needs, and budgets, including sturdy aluminium models, traditional timber designs, and compact telescopic ladders. Each option comes with its own benefits, such as lightweight operation, wide treads for safety, or space-saving folding mechanisms. During your free survey, we’ll recommend the best ladder for your space and intended use.

How long does the installation process take?

In most cases, we can install your new loft ladder in just half a day, with minimal disruption to your home. More complex jobs, such as enlarging a hatch opening or adding insulation, may take up to a full day. We’ll give you a clear time estimate before any work begins.

Do I need to prepare my home before installation?

We ask that the area below your loft hatch is clear so our team can work safely, but you don’t need to move heavy furniture or empty your loft unless advised. If your loft space is difficult to access, we’ll take care of the heavy lifting for you.

Are your loft ladders suitable for small or awkward spaces?

Yes, we have solutions for almost every layout, including narrow landings, hatches above stairwells, and angled ceilings. Our team is experienced in creating safe, practical access in even the trickiest spaces.

What is the weight capacity of your loft ladders?

Our loft ladders are designed to be strong and safe, with weight capacities ranging from 100kg to 150kg depending on the model. We’ll ensure your chosen ladder is the right match for your needs.

Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your installations?

Yes, all our loft ladder installations are covered by a minimum 12-month workmanship guarantee, and manufacturer warranties apply to the ladder itself. We stand by the quality of our work and our products.

Can you install loft ladders in older homes?

Absolutely. We regularly work in period properties and older buildings. We take extra care to protect existing structures and use methods suited to the age and condition of your home.

What are the costs involved in loft ladder installation?

The cost depends on the type of ladder, any hatch modifications, and additional features like insulation. For an accurate, no-obligation price, we recommend booking a free home survey so we can assess your space and requirements.
