What is an insulated loft hatch?

Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Whickham
How do I pay for work in Whickham?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you cover all of NE16?

What do I need to do before you arrive in Whickham?
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.
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.
