Questions about a loft ladder in Kirkwall
Can you take on work in Kirkwall?
Sometimes. Kirkwall 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.
Can a landlord in Kirkwall book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
How do I pay for work in Kirkwall?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
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.
