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 the Highlands and Islands
Do you cover the whole of the Highlands and Islands?
Mainland towns such as Inverness, Dingwall and Nairn are within our normal area. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, and travel may be priced separately.
Which council covers my address in the Highlands and Islands?
Councils in the Highlands and Islands include Highland, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands and Na h-Eileanan Siar. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
Can you make my loft hatch bigger?
Yes. We trim the joists, support them and fit a new insulated hatch. It is often done with a loft ladder.
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.
