What is a loft ladder?
The ladder has to suit the floor-to-ceiling height, the hatch size and the space on the landing where it lands. Ladders with an integrated insulated hatch are the neatest option because they replace the old hatch completely. More about a loft ladder.

How much does a loft ladder cost in Chester-le-Street?

Questions about a loft ladder in Chester-le-Street
Is loft work in Chester-le-Street 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 do I pay for work in Chester-le-Street?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you take on jobs outside Chester-le-Street?
Yes. We also work in Stanley and Durham and elsewhere in County Durham.
What size hatch do I need for a loft ladder?
Most standard ladders need an opening of about 550 by 700 mm or more. We check the model against your hatch before ordering.
Can you fit a loft light at the same time?
We can arrange it. A new lighting circuit is notifiable electrical work, so we use a registered electrician.
