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 Ipswich
Do you cover all of IP1?
Yes, we cover the IP1 postcode district and the districts around Ipswich.
Is loft work in Ipswich different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
How soon can you visit a home in Ipswich?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
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.
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.
