Questions about a loft ladder in Southend-on-Sea
Do you take on jobs outside Southend-on-Sea?
Yes. We also work in Rochford and Hadleigh and elsewhere in Essex.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Southend-on-Sea?
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.
Is loft work in Southend-on-Sea 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.
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.
How long does it take to fit a loft ladder?
Two to four hours into a suitable hatch. Half a day or more if the opening is enlarged.
