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. Where the opening is enlarged, the joists are trimmed and supported properly. More about an insulated loft hatch.

Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Stornoway
Can you take on work in Stornoway?
Sometimes. Stornoway is outside our normal travelling area, so we look at each job first. If we can help, any travel cost is shown on the quote before you book, and nothing is booked until you agree it.
How do I pay for work in Stornoway?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Stornoway?
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 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.
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.
