What is an insulated loft hatch?
We fit a new insulated hatch into the existing opening, or enlarge the opening if it is too small to get through safely or to fit a ladder. The frame is sealed to the ceiling and the trims are finished ready for painting. More about an insulated loft hatch.

Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Ampthill
Do you take on jobs outside Ampthill?
Yes. We also work in Kempston and Bedford and elsewhere in Bedfordshire.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Ampthill?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Can a landlord in Ampthill book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do I need a fire-rated hatch?
In most houses, no. In some flats, three-storey houses and loft conversions the ceiling is part of the fire protection and a fire-rated hatch is needed. We check.
Does an insulated loft hatch make much difference?
It closes one of the biggest single gaps in an insulated ceiling. It also cuts the warm, moist air that leaks into the loft and adds to condensation.
