Loft ladder fitting in Thurso

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.

Questions about a loft ladder in Thurso
Can you take on work in Thurso?
Sometimes. Thurso 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.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Thurso?
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.
Can a landlord in Thurso book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
